The feed goes to the rail, and the return line goes to the regulator. You might want to pull the vacuum line off the regulator and see if you find gas. Applying high pressure to the regulator may have damaged it....

The other line is a return, if its clogged you will have very high fuel pressure.

is not clogged in fact it has a vacume but the regulator does not push any out. the only way the fuel gets back to the tank is from the suction getting created in the tank from the pump

update.... new regulator installed today. this one spits fuel so it must help a little. got the timing set " I THINK" with spout pulled set at 10 deg befor "as per manual" and with spout in it jumps to 20 befor . i hope this is normal. anyway, no difference in the way it runs. seems to be a never ending story.

That change in timing is normal, my 1989 moved farther but then the programing may have been different.
