I figured that was the next logical step.

Where or how did you check the fuel pressure after adjusting it?
See this thread.
BTW, the pressure regulator is clearly visible near the bottom of the picture.

Is that the return side or pressure side?

Pressure side. The pressure on the return side should be zero, since it flows with no restriction back to the tank.
The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

After looking at Pat's image in the linked thread, I have the same throttle body.  I had it turned the wrong way, so the fuel lines do come in from the passenger side.  You can have it.  I don't need it.

If you're doing the Polar Bear Sasaturday, i'll bring it.

3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

That would be wonderful but I can’t make the run. The boss says I must attend the family get together. But baring emergencies I will be at the January club Meeting.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about the family functions.  See you in January.

Found an amazing read on the throttle body.
