    When the little bugger, just like mine does it, my money on pressure reg, I clamp the return line off with locking pliers and well broom broom, just found that out 15 mins ago as both my pumps are ok, but thinking of fitting a holley high pressure, well they are injectors, yes the old girl is still idling great out there, first time in the 3 months I have had it, but the clamp only works to start to get pressure to injectors again.
