Default Does your Holley AFPR hold pressure?
Mine won't for some reason. Brand new and it wont hold pressure and wont adjust higher than about 34psi either. I triple checked the install and the spring and cap are definately installed correctly. Replaced with the stock regulator and cap assembly and it primes to about 42psi and holds just fine. WTF?

my holley holds pressure fine. if you are losing pressure, could be something else. On my 85, it was my pulsation dampner (after swapping lots of parts) .

My Holley held pressure fine until I found a leak a few weeks back. Not sure if the Holley is the problem or not. I don't see fuel in the AFPR vac.
