Hi,

On the back of my 1980-1987 edition under the fuel injection header is the
same info that is in 25.25, i.e. 2.5 bar (35 or 36psi) with vac hose
disconnected.

When I ran my tests the first time I had 32psi with the vac hose connected
and 38 or 39 with it disconnected. So I concluded my regulator was not quite
right, 3 or 4 psi high.

I can't imagine anywhere any everyday mechanic doing the math you did to
determine if the regulator is bad. I think they would have the Bentley in
hand and do just what I did.

The new regulator is still 3 or 4 psi high with the vac hose disconnected,
so I posted the info so anyone who may have the same test results would know
what the new regulator is going to deliver.

Bye,
Mark Ingalls
