9. Install the plug (supplied) or connect a fuel pressure gauge to the gauge port using a 1/8-27 NPT male thread and thread sealer (not supplied).
10. Check for leaks: Start engine and check all connections for leaks. If any leaks exist, immediately turn key off and repair before continuing.
11. Start the engine, loosen the jam nut on the top of the regulator, and turn the adjusting screw until the desired fuel pressure is obtained. Tighten
