1. Once the engine has been allowed to cool, disconnect the negative battery cable and relieve any fuel
system pressure.
2. Place shop towels around the regulator to catch any gasoline that is spilled during this step of the
installation. Remove any regulator mounting hardware and connecting fuel lines, then carefully
remove the regulator.
3. Find a suitable place in the vehicle’s engine compartment to mount the Aeromotive regulator. Using
the supplied mounting bracket as a template, mark the bracket mounting holes and drill to accept a
#10 screw.
4. With the bracket attached to the regulator, mount the bracket and regulator to the vehicle using two
#10 screws, nuts and lock washers.
5. Attach the fuel supply line to the AN-10 inlet port located in the front of the regulator using AN-10 style
fittings and o-rings.
6. Attach the fuel return line to the AN-10 bypass port located at the bottom of the regulator using a
cutoff AN-10 style fitting (Aeromotive P/N 15608 or equivalent) and o-ring.
7. Attach the fuel supply line(s) to the carburetor using AN-08 style fittings and o-rings. Install AN-08
style plugs and o-rings into the outlet ports not used.
8. Tighten all connections.
9. Once the regulator is installed, attach a suitable fuel pressure gauge in the fuel system.
10. Ensure that any spilled gasoline and any gasoline soaked shop towels are cleaned up and
removed from the vicinity of the vehicle!
11. Reconnect the battery and turn the fuel pump ON WITHOUT starting the car. After several seconds,
check the fuel pressure. If there is no fuel pressure, turn the fuel pump OFF, wait one minute, return
the fuel pump ON, and recheck the fuel pressure. Repeat this OFF and ON procedure until the fuel
pressure gauge registers fuel pressure.
12. With the fuel pressure gauge registering fuel system pressure, check for fuel leaks from and
around the Aeromotive regulator and all fuel lines and connections near the regulator! If any
fuel leaks are found, turn the fuel pump OFF, remove any spilled fuel and repair the leak before
proceeding!
13. Once the fuel pressure gauge registers fuel system pressure and there are no fuel leaks, start the
engine and adjust the regulator to the desired fuel pressure (Regulator is adjustable from 3-21 psi).
Turning the adjustment screw clockwise will increase fuel pressure.
14. Once the desired fuel pressure is achieved, tighten the regulator adjustment jam nut.
15. If you do not want to keep the fuel pressure gauge on the vehicle, relieve the fuel system pressure as
instructed in the appropriate vehicle service manual. Remove the fuel pressure gauge and reinstall the
a pipe plug into the gauge port, using thread sealant.
16. Test drive the car to insure proper operation and re-check the fuel system for leaks. If any leaks are
found, immediately shut off the engine and repair the leak(s)!
