Took your advise and taped the carb hat and ran a hose to the regulator pressure relief valve. also fabed up better intake filter.and routed it away from the headers and valve cover.
I also notice car was running rich so checked all the plugs and confirmed that suspicion. Looked at gap which was .035 and did some research and consulted Torqstorm. They agreed with my finding to closethe gap to the .028-.030 range. Then once cleaned up it mat require a slightly colder plug. Still need to adjust timing too but somewhat tricky. Anyone have experience with remote timing system that doesn't involve adjusting distributor and using timing gun.??
Only because due to tighter space its more challenging to get to damper to hit with timing gun.

The reg could be referenced to the hat, so fuel pressure would be say 6 at idle, to 12 under boost.
Where as to manifold vac, it would be say 3 at idle, 6 at zero vacuum, and then 12 etc.
Depends on your current vacuum at idle, (camshaft), and how much boost you are running.
You could also reference the regulator T'eed with an adjustable bleed to the carb hat, then can you dial up what your fuel pressure curve is separately to boost.
