Do a search - there was a thread a week or two ago on this subject. I currently have an accel and it included the diaphram. I did have a TPIS but there was no diaphram and the vacuum line connector broke off the first time I connected the vacuum line to it.

Do the search - there was an individual that had a picture of one made by Holley (I think). It was awsome!!! Instead of a bolt on top of the unit there was a dial that you could adjust the pressure with. If I need another one I will buy it - getting a wrench on the bolt to adjust the pressure is a pain. :chevy

Yes, buy the Holley, it is great!! I bought mine from Jegs. I think I paid $79 which is comparable to all the rest. I had a BBK and the vacuum fitting came off when I tried to remove the vacuum hose. The Holley has a threaded fitting.

Here's a link with a pic of the Holley I put on mine. (it's towards the bottom)

Another good thing about the Holley is that it comes with a new diaphragm. Even though your old diaphragm may still be good, it's just that...old.

Good luck,

Cohocarl,

Do you have a part number for that Holley and where you got it?

Thanks.

It's Holley 512-501, and I got it from either Jegs or Summit. Both places have it for $80.
Go to either http://www.jegs.com or http://www.summitracing.com and hit their search for holley fuel regulators.

I wish these places would put a realistic "handling" charge on their orders. They advertise "FREE SHIPPING", but I guess they hope you won't notice their $8 handling fee....... :jester

Take care,

Carl
