I had to read the instructions 5 times before I realized it went in the pump not the regulator

So far I am unhappy with it, the fuel pressure keeps moving around and no matter how many times I reset it it changes. I have posted about this before. I am wondering if the problem is with the stock TBI pump. Some other board members said they have had the same problem. Anyone else know?
