if it's stock, you don't have a regulator. so yes, you need one bad. your floats are probably way out of wack.

What kind of pump did you get? If its a performance one like a mallory or whatever you'll need a reg, if its a stock replacement one you shouldn't need a regulator. The stock pumps are preset, which is why there is no reg stock.

For God's sake don't waste your bucks on the cheapo Purolator "chrome dial" POS !!! They are inaccurate and can come apart and flood gas all over your ****. Mine self destructed while we were standing in front of the opened hood with the engine running. Got a red Holley to match the pump, added a good gauge, set it at 3 1/2 and no more problems.
