Exclamation How Do I Adjust This Thing!!!!????

I just got my new fuel pressure regulator from SF. There are several screws on it. Two one the side, one large and one small. There is one on the top with a nut. How do I adjust it? This is a adjustable, pnuematic FPR. Does anybody have directions to it. I installed it, and turned the car on. To my surprise it leaks vacuum. There are two little holes, one on either side where you have the 2 adjustment screws. I an put my fingers over it and feel the air pulling throught the holes. What? How do I get this to stop? What screws do what MIKE?

Hey Catalyst....could you PM any type of directions for this to adjust it? I am going to install this tonight and don't want to risk breaking it in any way.

I believe one is to adjust base fuel pressure, one is to adjust the ratio of boost referenced fuel pressure increase, and one is to adjust at what psi the boost referencing fuel pressure increase starts. I'm not sure which one is which, though. Sorry.

well...there is a problem that is going to be fixed with the multiplier.....a recall on these FPR's in the near future. The top screw is adjustment of base fuel pressure, large screw on side delays response of fuel increase, and small screw next to it keeps fuel from going any higher so to keep from bogging or running too rich.

Hey, I just found this thread. I have the same one, not installed yet, and I don't think Mike is taking any calls now. Is SF Kaput?

Anyway, should I be concerned about this recall you mentioned, any further instructions as to getting this thing working properly? Did it need much adjustment?

Thanks
