Re: A '54 named Busty
Yes you need a regulator, the PCM will not control your fuel pressure. Late model vehicles with FPCM will control fuel pressure using PWM but you don’t have that. Best way for you to go is using a corvette fuel filter regulator. It has 2 fittings on one side that go to the sending unit(3/8 feed, 5/16 return) and one fitting on the other side that goes to the rail. It regulates the pressure to 58psi. Which is standard LS pressure.

Re: A '54 named Busty
This is the setup. I suggest getting a WIX or ACDelco one of you go that route. It can be mounted to the frame near your tank so you still only have one line running to your engine from the regulator.

Since The Greg is running a nonOEM pump and housing I’m not sure how easy it will be to use the 04+ setup.

Re: A '54 named Busty
Well I guess I need to refresh before I post when I get distracted. That looks like an even better option than the stupid little plastic clips that holds it together stock.

Re: A '54 named Busty
thank you, thank you, thank you, it was driving me crazy trying to find the darn thing, I thought it was mounted on the firewall similar to the air pump, and since I did not own the donor vehicle I couldn't just go and hunt for it
soooooooooooooo appreciate it!!!! |

Re: A '54 named Busty
yeah they are called quick connect for a reason (not quick disconnect, LOL) the factory is all about making it easier and faster to crank out these trucks ie build them for their less and less skilled workers, I hate all of the GM fittings and connectors they are insanely difficult to disconnect and reuse without damage, some electronic plugs you seriously need a third arm to get off, that or maybe I'm just a moron?! ha ha

Re: A '54 named Busty
so while we wait on the little fuel pressure regulator (pronounced: "expensive") to show up might as well fandangle the drive by electricity throttle pedal
Options: 1. shorten the pedal |

Re: A '54 named Busty
With the covid going on it’s probably quicker and easier to modify the pedal.
Just my two cents.

Re: A '54 named Busty
... and Robert is your father's brother!
presented with or without the plastic cover I made from a piece of plastic that fell off a Jeep on the side of the road - you're welcome (ha ha) someday I plan to fab something smart out of metal yes I ended up putting a "speed" hole in the plastic pedal because I'm an idiot and didn't realize you can tilt it forward more (so the metal won't make contact with the plastic) when taking the torch to it to bend it into submission a little bit |

Re: A '54 named Busty
I like B, it seems to fit better. Of course that is only worth what you paid for it though.

Re: A '54 named Busty
Dude you seriously did not need to share. I would have been perfectly fine if you would have kept this all for yourself.
