Hey there

Wondering what brand of sensors you go for when replacing. And also for the fuel regulator(s)

Any part numbers may be help full.

I've ordered a new iac valve from Amazon, waiting on its arrival. Acdelco branded, so I'll see what it's like when it gets here.

Cheers
Pete

AC Delco are the go now. VS FPR can no longer be bought. You will have to look at an alternative set up.

Hi Losh, where would you get your sensors from?

Any alternative fpr setup ideas?
I have already taken the insides out of my reg body, tig welded it back together, along with the vacumm tube welded closed.
Then used an aftermarket regulator with its gauge to run the pressure.

Cheers

the inlet fitting on the fuel rail will fit the outlet where the fpr is another idea is to drill, tap and fit A N fittings
i fitted adjustable fpr and brought two new genuine vs v6 inlet fuel hoses to get the correct end fittings

This sounds interesting. Do you have any photos of the setup? I just googled A N fittings, some are flared, some are male and female.
I see your fuel rail fittings in the photo you attached.

also vs fuel rails are made from bullet and folks who have later models or l67 supercharge engines prefer them to mod like doing AN fittings polish or paint like in this youtube vid

That video is a good watch, could be possible to do this.
What are your fittings, and where did you get your sensors from?

Cheers
