Re: Fuel pump PITA

Your issue isn't uncommon.
Fuel Pressure is determined by the spring in the pump, and they don't care about getting it correct. I am assuming the new pump is the crimped-style pump.
The pumps with screws can be taken apart, and the spring trimmed to adjust the pressure.
The options seem to be an OEM pump or adding a fuel pressure regulator.
I'm guessing the pressure regulator is also China. You may be able to have someone watch the gauge while the engine is shut down.

I agree. All possible value has been removed from almost everything. Guess that is the outcome when only price matters.
I just purchased a new pair of Levis. Took the information right off my old ones.
Old Levis were made in Mexico, the new ones were manufactured in China.
They were physically lighter than the old pair.
