Fuel Pressure Regulator Mod using B & M Command Flo (#46

Post by dr.occa »

Image
get your factory 4AG fuel pressure regulator picked out and ready.


Image
first the vacuum line inlet.


Image
I just used a red sharpie to indicate what i'll be lopping off.


Image
ahhh, progress

Image
i didn't cut all the way through. i didn't want the spring to jump out and possibly hit me or someone else nearby in the face.


Image
so i just pried the remainder off with some vice grips.


Image
with the help of my stationary grinding wheel, i ground down the edge of the remaining top hat (makes the fpr too wide to fit the B & M hat over it) to keep it intact and still use it to help take up the slack with the B & M kit installed. this is just to make sure we've got a good seal.


Image
spared rubber gasket placed back where i found it.


Image
the round off hat that i was talking about earlier.


Image
ready to be assembled


Image
voila! assembled and with a new o-ring to boot!

No worries Ray. :tu:

Another option with this DIY is to use the spring from the factory pressure regulator instead of the one provided in the kit.
