I ordered a replacement FPR for my LT1, because the one I had got damaged. The one that I got in the mail today has the bracket on the opposite side than the one that came on the motor. Will this regulator still work with my LT1? I can probably make a bracket to hold it on the fuel rail, but I need to know if it will work.

Here is a pic of them both next to each other:



The one that is damaged that came with my motor is on the right.

 

Corvettes and Fbody/Bbodys are on opposite sides. Im guessing you got a C4 unit

Go to a JY and pull one off a Bbody LT1/L99

 

Ugh, it was sold as a 93-97 Camaro/Firebird LT1 regulator...

Other than the mounting point, are there any differences?

 

Not that I know of

Use a clamp and install the new one on your rails sans bolt to confirm the regulator is your problem

 

The regulator that I had originally is broken and un-usable. All I am asking is, will the c4 unit regulate the pressure the same way that the original one will? If so, I am sure I can make a bracket or something to bolt it down.

Thanks!

 

Thats what I was getting at

 

Allright, cool. I'll see what I can come up with!

Thanks

 

Okay, heres what I came up with, just to show what I did to remedy this:



I used some aluminum I got from home depot a while back, after making a cardboard template, and bent it into an L shape, then drilled a hole where the closest fuel rail bolt was. I also cut the bracket that held on the old regulator and used the part that holds the fuel lines apart to keep them steady, like the old bracket did. I don't see why this wont hold up just fine, theres no way the regulator can back off from the rail.

 

In case it ends up not working out or being a problem in the future - oreillys, advance auto, or Autozone usually have.lt1 f-body regulators in stock for about 30 bucks

 

this is from speeddensity.org

"The 93 fuel pressure regulator was located on the bottom rear of the passenger side rail. For the 94+ cars this was moved to the rear of the driver side rail."

hope that helps.

 

Those are the first places I checked, and they cost $70. A bit overpriced for such a little part. Maybe its different where you are?

 

Holy crap that is pricey. Its been about 5 years since I bought one. Prices must have went up or they discontinued the cheap brand.

 

dude everything is overpriced... an FPR for an 87 Celebrity was 90 dollars over at AZ... I was like WTF ...

 

i have a stock one,its yours for $20 shipped i bought a new adjustable accell one last summer as an upgrade.PM me if you want it!

 

If I can't get this one to work, I will definitely hit you up for that one.

Thanks

 

I know this sounds odd, but the FPR on 03-05 J-Bodies is the same as the F-Body part. I know this because I bolted an Aeromotive F-Body AFPR directly onto my 03 Cavalier fuel rail.

 

In my hand is the stock FPR; on the rail is P#13107. Listed for 94-97 F-Bodies and 94-96 B-Bodies.
