<VV> Fuel pressure

Higher fuel pressure would tend ELIMINATE or REDUCE the chance of vapor
lock.

Subject: <VV> Fuel pressure

I've been chasing an odd vapor lock problem and discovered that my fuel
pressure is 7.5psi.  I replaced the pump with a new Clark's pump and now
it's 7.75psi.  The book calls for 4-5.  I've taken springs out of old pumps
before to get the pressure down in new pumps.  Are there any correct springs
available?  If not, what kind and size wire should I buy to make my own?

Is there a cross available to replace the output T so I can add a pressure
gauge?

Is there a low pressure electric gauge available so I can monitor pressure?

Thanks,
Joel McGregor
