I agree with 9 deuce GT...it would be best if you can adjust with a fuel pressure guage to watch. I can tell just by listening to the engine when it runs better...but you can only get into a ballpark "figure" when doing that...
I messed with it w/o a guage and the next week I installed one... I was at 75psi
LOL- get a guage man!!!

your FP guage will tell you which was leans it and which way increases fuel to the motor. If you look for a FP and can't find one then you should wait to adjust the FP until you install a guage. Summit has some inexpensive rail guages and FYI I believe it uses a NOS fitting.
Just in case you don't have a fuel pressure gauge and want an inexpensive setup...

I made my own pressure gauge and holder. I bought the NOS or Autometer adapter that you screw into the place on the fuel line where the schrader valve goes. I ran a piece of SS (stainless steel) braided hose to a brass T fitting that I mounted on the fender well by the MAF. I made a mount bracket out of aluminum angle I got from Home depot and bolted it to the fender well. Then I mounted the brass Tee to it with some machine screws and a plate. I sandwiched the brass Tee between the aluminum angle and a flat piece of aluminum that I trimmed off the extra aluminum angle. Three screws laid out in a triangle pattern go through both pieces of aluminum to clamp the Tee in place. I used a cheap industrial gauge from MSC Direct (http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNPDFF?PMPAGE=4590). It works great and was cheaper than anything Summit had.
If you look through the MSC Direct catalog, you can find any type of gauge you want, including liquid filled. You only need a liquid filled gauge if you mount it directly on the engine. The liquid filling dampens out the vibrations.
You can buy the Autometer Stainless Steel braided hose for like $60. Or a local shop that makes hydraulic hose assemblies can make it for you at a cheaper price. Ordinary low pressure hydraulic hose can be used in place of the Stainless Steel braided hose, the Stainless Steel braided hose just looks nice. I got mine for $4 at a place that sells industrial and military surplus parts of all kinds. The Stainless Steel braided hose goes for about $3.60 a foot and the fittings are probably about $5-$8 each. You can make your own and save some $$$, the shops may have a setup or labor charge to fabricate the hose assembly.
