AFPR Question

[Scoobum]

My car is done...and we rolled Dans GN into the shop. This car has cool guy stuff that has to go. First off. The AFPR is an Accufab...and has a fancy push lock adapted to it with a thin hard plastic hose. Vacuum being pulled from it doesn't feel as much as from my car. Fuel pressure is adjusted to 43 line off...and reconnecting the hose it stays at 43. Is the diaghram fubard...is it not getting enuf vacuum? I'm heading back today to load my car up and I'll find out where the vacuum is being drawn...and I'll find out how much with my vaccum gauge. I'll take some pics as well and post them.


We're swapping the fuel pump on it later today when the heat/humidity dies down...as we don't know how old it is...and seems fairly quiet when you turn the key on...compared to mine.

if you have a Mighty Mite, you can draw down on the regulator and see what heppens

 Something is up.  Every 2" on vacuum should drop the pressure 1psi.   If you can feel vacuum on the line with your finger, yet the pressure doesn't change, you have issues.

Odds are it's the POS Accufab since a pinched return would make the car pig rich everywhere else across the board.

Thanks guys. I'll actually take a vid of it and post it. Make it easier for you guys to diagnose it. Can I get a rebuild kit for it up here in the Great White North...the car's on a budget.
