Default Running too Rich

Well I had to rebuild my engine and I got the car back on Saturday. Well as I’m driving home from the shop I notice that my a/f gauge is pinned in the green. Now I know it’s not because of me cause I’m only raising the RPM’s to about 3500. So I check my apex-I turbo timer and the gauge was right. I am running extremely rich. The car is running so rich when the engine is cold and I crank it up the car won’t give me a high idle and then lower. It barely wants to start and run. So I check under the hood and my fuel pressure is at 40-42psi at 700rpm. Should that be lower with the factory fuel pressure regulator? What is the factory fuel pressure for a b16 engine? Isn’t more like 32-36psi. If someone can help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks.

are you measuring the pressure with the vac hose on or off.

40-46 i believe is b16. with hose on.
