Default 1998 Fuel Pressure Regulator Question

Hello everyone. I have a 1998 c5 with the return style fuel system. My question is does anyone know where i can get either a new fuel regulator or an adjustable one at a reasonable price. I bought a new fuel rail and it did not come with the regulator. Dealer wants $120 for just the reg. Also does anyone know if another regulator will work like cross reference with another vehicle? Thanks for all your help!

Unless you're willing to volunteer to do some unnatural things with/to your local stealership, they will not even come close to the price Fichtner will offer you.

Give Bob a call. I've bought quite a few things through them and have not been disappointed. He won't rape you either on the price OR the shipping charges.

Just remember they are in the Mountain Time Zone.

I bought my adjustable fuel pressure regulator from West Coast Corvettes.At the time it cost me $109.I received a 10% discount for being a member of C5 Registry.

If you intent to mod your car (nitrous or FI) then the adjustable fuel pressure regulator is for you...it's the nuts.
