Fixed again...

Got the FPR diaphragm replaced. The one in the car had completely ripped off the spring assembly. Not good. It was an Accel adjustable kit. I put a GP Sorensen diaphragm in to it. We'll see how it goes. Car is running much smoother now, though acceleration isn't very good. I may have to get run a compression test on it and see if I did manage to wash out the rings.

I think I need a power resister for the fuel pump. With the adjuster backed all the way out, I'm running 60PSI of fuel pressure at idle. That's too much, and probably why the regulator failed. If anybody out there is an EE and can tell me a part number for a resister that can survive 30 amps and cut voltage from 14 to about 12, contact me.
