Checking Fuel Pressure on 1.7 D-Jet?, Need a "little" help here... Options

[customstarr]

I'm chasing a "rich over all loads" condition, and I'm down to the MPS and Fuel Pressure. Car is a 1971 with D-Jet.

My questions are:

1. Where do I tap in with my gauge? Do I check both rails?
2. What is the proper pressure (30 PSI)?
3. What direction is the regulator adjuster turned to +/- the pressure?
4. Any clearly defined procedure?

I did do a search and found a couple of related posts, but no direct answers.

Thanks!

I did major battle with a '70 with D-jet. I know what that's like. I would agree with you. Make sure you have everything set up correctly before checking for a faulty piece. That's what turned out being my problem. I had the CHT sensor hooked up wrong. So I would double check all the wiring and fuel lines to make sure they're hooked up right, as well as properly calibrated.
Now to your questions.
1. The pressure is to be measured on the driver's side fuel rail, between injectors 1 & 2. There's a tap that's plugged with a screw. Unscrew it and attach a fuel pressure gauge (preferably about a 60 PSI gauge) with a rubber fuel hose.
2. Proper fuel pressure is 29 PSI, although it'll rattle around. 29 PSI average.
3. Adjustment screw clockwise = more fuel pressure. Adjustment screw counterclockwise = less pressure.
4. As for procedure, Haynes manual says to unplug your primary ignition cable and crank the engine with no spark to set it. I however, have always just done it at idle and have had no problems. If you can get it to idle, great. If not, get some help and do it that way.
Feel free to PM me if you need any further help.
