Sounds right.. I had one a long time ago, but I don't think they preset them, per se..
I got a gauge you can use at the shop if you need one. Joe knows where it is.

My Weber 48IDA would flood itself (to the point of gas dumping all over the place) if I had any more than 3.5psi going through it. I had the Holley Blue fuel pump, and it worked BEAUTIFULLY when I set the FPR to about 2.8psi.

candyasssmiler doesnt have a holley carb, he has a holley fpr.
I wouldn't use one of those settable puralator style ones. They suck. Sorry.

I got the cheep and crome one and it is a pice of ****. When I drive for more than an a hour straight it heats up and starts to vaporlock. Don't get a cheep fuel preasure regulator. I'm now looking for a Holley FPR.

I keep having problems with my holley fpr's. In the morning the pressure is at 6 psi, then it heats up and drops to 3.25 psi.
