its twenty minutes well spent even if you decide its to much and take it out. i tried two different sizes. IDmooseman advised me not to do it without an actual pressure guage and i'm glad he did the psi is all over the place.

If you're getting 65psi now, I think the BB would send your pressure up over 90psi. I wouldn't do the shim with a BB yet. You could get a small bolt with one or two nuts for adjustability. That way you make small changes and get the pressure where you want it.
Hey Brady (Farmer Ford), thanks for the kind words. Enjoyed talking with you yesterday.

I have a 1996 7.3 with 205,000. I checked the pressure and it reads a steady 60 psi. Would you try to increase the pressure with a mod? My thinking is to leave well enough alone.
My FPR dosen't have the black filter housing as shown in a previous post. Is there another filter located on my FPR that I should clean or change? One more question. I changed my fuel filter today, in the bottom of the bowl the hold down for the element are broken. Will this create a problem? I am talking about the dime size brackets.

There are a screen in the FPR that you should clean.
The broken element surely is going to blew the fuse #22 underhood, just unplugged it in the outside of the canister.

I see now. Does anyone know the spec on the stock spring. You could just go get on somewhere that sells a bunch of springs
