With the engine running it gets 60psi wether the fuel pressure regulator is hooked up or not. I know it's suppose to be 28-45. What could be the problem? Bad regulator?

Forget it. I figured it out. Bad regulator

yeah that was my guess fuel pressure too high for a v-8
60 lbs is an inline six pressure-40 for a v-8
