Re: [T3] Fuel in oil

<x-flowed> >I thought if I measured the initial fuel pressure, then took the pump

and stretched the spring, then measured again etc. I could get it to the
required 5psi. Does it matter what RPM's the pressure is measured at?


I recently purchased several NOS rebuild kits, and there was no 
immediate way to tell weather they were Type 1 or Type 3 fuel pressure. 
The kits were identical except the Type 3 used a thicker gauge spring. 
I have thickness and spring load/rate data somewhere if anyone wants 
it.  I also measured fuel pressure, and it held 4.5 PSI no matter the 
engine speed or load (yes, I had a buddy looking at the gauge while 
accelerating).  I believe you could adjust a Type 1 spring by cold 
setting it.
