Fuel Pressure Regulator?

Hey all i have this truck a '92 with a 5.0L. Currently i am getting bad mileage and sputtering. I hooked the fuel pressure tester up and at KOEO it goes to 40 psi then drops to zero within 10 or so seconds. With the engine running at idle the fuel pressure is at 70psi. My research points me to the fuel pressure regulator, just want to double check if someone has seen this as well before i pull those annoying screws out. Thanks.

70psi is way too high so something is definitely wrong but it might not be just the regulator. Are any of the plugs wet? Do you have the fuel transfer problem?
