Thank you, AFPR!
I put in my AFPR this afternoon. Got it all adjusted. FINALLY got the car back together without any air leaks 
I must say that my idle has never been so nice! The smoke coming from my mufflers isn't there anymore, either! 
I have a quick question, though (I didn't want this to be a question post, but since I'm thinking about it, I don't want to waste board space..)
When I adjusted the AFPR, I had the vaccuum line off of it, as instructed. I set it to about 45PSI. As soon as I put the vaccuum line back on, it dropped to below 40, but still reacted just as it had when I had it at about 45PSI. When I had it below 40PSI with the vaccuum line off, it wouldn't even start.
Is this normal?
Thanx in advance, and happy driving, all! ^_^

Thanx for the reply!

Your car should still start with 30 psi or so in the rail.It may not run that good but something doesnt seem to be right if it cannot start with it under 40 psi.Is your feul pump supplying enough fuel all the time?
Just something to check.Either way,glad to hear its running better.

Your pressure should hit 40 or so and STAY there for a while.If it drops fast on the gauge,you got a weak pump or possible injector leak.Let me correct myself,the check valve in the pump would be bad.Do be sure your pump is flowing enough fuel when the car is running and doesnt leak back fast either.

I heard that if the pump was bad, you wouldn't get too much pressure back there.

Just wanted to share that too.
