Any difference in FP regulators between 85/86?
Does anybody know if there's any difference in fuel pressure regulators from 1985 to 1986? The reason I ask is that the lee auto parts here in chicago doesn't list a rebuild kit for an 85, but has one for an 86 - i ordered it and it looks ok....but autozone has 2 different part #'s for the 85 and 86 regulator. Does anybody have an answer for me?
Thanks,
Pablo

I know the fuel pressures are different. It went up in 86.
So yeah, there has to be something different, the spring or a spacer in there to increase it.
The cheap way to increase fuel pressure is toss a quarter under the regulator cap.
If you can't locate the OEM one, i'd order an adjustable one before getting one for an 86.
