Fuel Pressure

Is it possible to have 20# of fuel pressure evan after you do the "BB" shim?

I hooked up an electric pressure guage to my '97. The sending unit replaced the schrader valve. It read 20# before the shim. I got another sending unit from the manufacture an I'll be damned if it doesn't read 20#.

Actually, if you want to split hairs it's really closer to 19#. I would think that the PSD needed more pressure than that to operate smoothly. This truck runs like a bat out of hell.

What hoppened?

I would check it with a mechanical gauge. I would bet that pulses are messing with your readings.
