I think I may have found my problem with the pressure
regulator. Seen below (the Boost Adjustable one is the one I
use). In the description they mention are adjustable from 36-45 psi
with a flow rate of 9.2-10.5 gal/hr. I presume that means the
return rate flow or if they mean the engine fuel used flow rate then clearly
it is under-capacity to handle our rotary fuel flow.
Ed, I
hadn't read this post yet when I posted my long-winded reply. (previous
post)
Looks like you got the idea on your own. The pump IS higher output
than you need.
The regulator itself may be the return restriction I
mentioned in the previous post!

Hey Bill,
I appreciate all the help I can get - different
insight/experience is what makes sharing information on this list so
useful. It certainly seems that the return capability of this regulator
could be less than required to properly regulate pressure referenced to
manifold. I had assumed that since MSD advertised their High pressure
pump and regulator together that they would work together. And the
regulator may indeed increase fuel pressure/flow if presented with boost
pressure (above ambient) - just don't know since I don't have a
turbo.
Thanks again
Ed A
