Which way do I turn the screw on the fuel pressure regulator for more pressure. I'm trying to compensate for a weak fuel pump that I'll replace in the next few days.

In, clockwise, tighter.
Think tighten the screw for tighter pressure (more), loosen the screw for looser pressure (less). |

Turn the direction that makes the needle in your pressure gauge go up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
If you're messing with the pressure, you really should have a gauge on it. --DD |

Leave it alone until you get a new pump.You really need a guage in line to adjust it though.

If your pump can't flow adequate fuel at the stock pressure, it won't be able to flow adequate fuel at a higher pressure. Don't eff with the pressure reg. Get a new pump.
