    Check the vacuum line fitting as well. Mine was stuffed with foam packing. Thanks!

      It’s been great so far and still going with no issues. I have it mounted in front of an 044 so it handled some high pressure. Thanks watching and commenting and have fun modifying.

      I was thinking to buy this regulator for my nitrous sistem
      Do you know if this will work good for it

    Did it set psi correctly? Some of the reviews stated they had to cut coils off the spring. They said at its lowest setting it would be 90 psi.

      I didn’t have that problem with this one although I have seen that happen before. It responded to adjustment. Both the spring and the adjustments screw can be an issue on some FPRs. Even with the dead head carby regulators from China I had found an issue where they had no adjustments and it was the ball not seating correctly in the body of the regulator. I guess it’s quality control and a little luck sometimes.

    Do you run the supplied an fittings? I know most of the fittings sold on various speed shops online are probably chinese fittings anyway

      @@placeholdername3206 I usually use the fittings supplies. And yes I recently purchased a large amount of ptfe hose and fittings made in China that were better than ones I had been supplied by a “reputable” performance parts supplier. I should add that’s removing the fittings and spraying the threads with some lubricant goes a long way in helping insure they can be removed later and the thread is clean. Thanks for commenting.

      @@lowluckgarage My main issue with the supplied fittings on some things is the intetnal diameter is tiny. Like, you'll buy a fuel rail pr whatever with -8 fittings and the internal diameter is more like a -6. And thats where i worry that whoever makes them know they break, so they made the diameter smaller to have more material 🤔

      @@placeholdername3206 thats true I have a few fittings in my collection that are clearly incorrect. I think some are a machining issue and have the incorrect size machined when finished. But like you said there a few that are suspect with thickness around a shoulder or threaded parts. With most of this stuff you are the quality control before you fit the parts 😂

    What part # is it?
    Will it adjust pressure down to 5 pounds for carb?

    • @lowluckgarage
      @lowluckgarage  Год назад +1

      Not sure how accurate it will be for that kind of psi. I have seen these used as dead head regs but that’s not there intended use. For carbs there is a Holley “style” three port regulator that I have used with a lot of success. It’s another one that gets rebranded but are all the same Chinese copy. Next time I set one up I will do a video as I also like to dissemble them and check for ball seating and check for debris. Thanks. Hope that’s useful information 😂

    If I buy one of these regulator, can I install a genuine aeromotive rebuild kit if the pqy starts to leak?

    • @lowluckgarage
      @lowluckgarage  11 месяцев назад

      Not sure sorry mate haven’t had to rebuild a PQY. In the past if I have had any issue like incorrect model or defects I have just had them exchanged or a new one sent out.

    What thread sealant you use

    • @lowluckgarage
      @lowluckgarage  Год назад +1

      For most fuel fittings I use Permatex Aviation. A non hardening sealant.
