[V8] A few questions

[Steve Buchholz]

Is it a stock system?  I'm with Ingo ... the system is intended to maintain a constant pressure across the injectors so the amount of fuel delivered in a certain time is the same, independent of MP.  It would be more important for a turbo ... seems to me the only thing leaving the hose off would do would make the mixture richer at idle, perhaps slightly richer @ WOT.

It shouldn't hurt to hook the MP line up and observe any differences.

Ingo, the little rubber hose (as I stand here in front of it)
the end that's supposed to go into the little nipple at the back side of the regulator has a bolt in it. The other end does go down into the intake manifold (as it's supposed to......it just "seems" like the depths cause u can't c it)

 But yes the car runs fine. I drove it back from NH with no issues. And it looks like the bolt has been in the hose end for a while now.

And it runs? I thought the manifold vacuum worked to adjust the fuel
pressure of the regulator on the fly. Why not connect it and see what
happens.

I'm a bit confused as to the vacuum hose going to the depths remark. The FPR
hose is only - what - 3 inches long and hooks up to the intake manifold
right next to the FPR, right?
