Default abnormal fuel pressure

just swapped my old motor back in after a complete rebuild. though rebuilt, i keep it stock with the exception of valve springs and retainers. i still have the walbro 190lph that is still being used from my old setups. the problem is that my fuel pressure is sitting at 64-68psi while at idle which is way high.

Things i've tried: changing fpr(one stock, one adjustable), changing fuel gauges.


car: 92 cx
motor: B16A

has anyone expierenced this before?

check the return line for restriction, try to pass air through it, it should be free flowing

cleared the return line, no dice.

i placed the return line in a bottom and primed the system, fuel came out as it should. also, when i unplug the return line, the hardline from the chassis spilled some fuel out so it seems to be clear from debris.

any other inputs?
