Yep, easy. Get a fuel pressure gauge, either T it in to the carb supply or attach it to the end and set to 4psi.

Gunson do a gauge called a "lo-gauge" that does the job, about a tenner.

The other thing to check is that it rises proportinal to boost, i.e. 5 psi boost sees 9psi of fuel pressure to the carb.

This can be checked again using a fuel pressure gauge. The gunson one only goes to approx 10psi so anything over 6psi boost and you can measure it but it does fine to check if it works.

I found that if you set it at 4psi without the engine running, it would rise to 8/9psi by the time the boost gauge read zero (boost transition point) when driving... It would rise proportionally with boost after that however...

I'm just about to fit a new pump and will need to reset the regulator. The next time the car will run is at the RR day. Is there any chance someone can bring a gauge so I can set the correct pressure before I run it on the rollers?

I'll also be bringing along a calibrated digital boost gauge for anyone interested in seeing how accurate theirs is in comparison.....
