OK, so I adjusted the timing to 15* @ idle and 35* total. I will leave it like this for now until I get some more time to mess with the fuel press. reg.

While I was adjusting the timing I checked out the FP gauge thats in line with the carb and it was now reading 15psi!!! I couldnt get it to go any lower than 12psi by adjusting the regulator.(causing fuel to come out of the fuel bowl adjusting screws) So I wanted to see how it would react if I gave it some throttle. I held the throtttle steady @ around 2K (hwy RPM's) and the FP went down slowly to 2 psi. I tried revving the engine some and the press. went down really fast to almost 0.

So my thoughts are that my fuel pump is just not able to keep up or my regulator is not doing its job. I bought the pump off another 4th gen but I thing it might have been a 6 cyl.
