I just got done putting in a Walbro 255 lph fuel pump and a rail mounted fuel pressure gauge.

What's the fuel pressure supposed to be, and how do I check it?

The reading's I have now are 33-34 psi while idleing, and 39-40 psi while idleing with the vacuum line removed from the regulator and plugged. Am I doing it right and how are my readings?

Pressure is right in the stock range...your reading with the vac line off is the correct reading.
