Has anyone had experience with installing an Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator? Any hints or tips would be appreciated.

Ive put one on my stang. It's pretty simple, on mine anyway. It just replaces the stock non-adjustable unit in the fuel rail. Even has a port for FP gauge. Adjustment only requires a wrench and an allen wrench. Only tips I can suggest are to read the insturctions, be sure you have relieved the fuel pressure prior to installation, and use teflon tape. Other than that, the directions should answer any other questions. Mines a BBK by the way, seems like a quality FPR.

BBK makes quality products. I have a set of BBK progressive springs for my car, and i couldnt be happier with them. Greg my only tip to you is read and re read the directions and dont take any shortcuts..

Mine is an Aeromotive and I'm looking to put it on in spring. I just don't want a 1 hour project turning into a 1 week project. You know what I mean... Cheers

Agree

I bet we can all think of "projects" that turned into that sort of mess.

I wouldnt sweat it. My engine was out of the car, so I didnt have to take any time to relieve the fuel pressure, but the actual regulator took about 15 minutes tops. Hopefully yours is a similar setup and goes just as easy.
