VW-058046300- is the part number off a pump I pulled from a 74' 1.8 rust- bucket. This is very similar to your number. Prolly stock or OE replacement...IMHO

pressure regulator. perhaps i should'nt be so lazy and stop throwing abreviations in. sorry. i've got a couple of facets lying around jim. do you want to try one out? mail to your place would be around 4 bucks. their just in the way in a drawer. i know for a fact that the one off the white wreck (moby dick, can't seem to get it out of the driveway, my nemisis) is functional.

Thanks Kevin. I have a facet on the shelf too. I am going to wait for a response from PMO, then probably hook up the existing system and check the pressure as Brad suggested. If it seems risky, I will go with the rotary like yours. For only $42 might as well have quiet. Is there a regulator shown in the picture of your pump? I see only the pump and 2 filters.

jim, the small canister with the arrow is the regulator assem that comes WITH the pump. pre assembled and ready to go. if you have to buy an adjustable regulator it would drive the cost of a new facet to about the same price, and imho you still need a fp gauge. go to the cb performance site. i still intend to install a fuel pressure gauge when i complete my swap.

Those regulators are junk. (sorry.. I stopped running them in 1990 when I was 20 years old) again.. the typical carb pumps put out what you need without a regulator.
If your doing the car correctly (and want a regulator) pop for the real thing and buy a Mallory from Summit racing. The gauge is a good idea if you fiddle with tuning and setting the floats. Most people dont. B |

Sean, your faith in Richard at PMO is well placed.
I faxed him about noon Friday and he called at 9:30 this morning. Pretty good service considering I was not a customer and only "inherited" a PMO part. He said they still produce the device and sell it with their carb conversion kits for CIS 911 pumps which are 90 lb. pumps. The high pressure is only created by the restriction created by the FI pressure regulator. He said as long as my return line to the tank has no restrictions (kink/pinch, etc) I can use the clamp to create the restriction in the return line to dial in the correct pressure. The only way the pump would generate 30 lbs. is if some other restriction would plug things up. Think I'll use the system. |

I couldnt imagine PMO selling anything that didnt work.
Cool. Get the car running. Oh.. Kevin.. juts for fun.. The regulator in your pic above is set to wide open on number 6. Throw it away.. its not doing anything. That is the regualtor that builds pressure in the line instead of bleading it off thru a return line like the PMO and factory setup. B |
