Whew, that vid was painful to watch -- so many things done wrong

he never replaced the o-ring on the backside of the regulator seat -- that would be the black one in Jacks picture
and the list goes on

the vid shows the pressure test port pretty well, it is just to the left of the blue spring
Takes a metric adapter: Fuel pressure 6.0 M12x1.5MM adapter

I suggest installing a permanent gauge in this port
can be either an electric sensor gauge or a mechanical gauge
you can use an oil pressure gauge from the auto parts store, for a cheap alternative

this will tell you the health of your fuel system and alert to when the filter needs changed

I agree! But it shows the parts and locations fairly well (except for that o-ring you mentioned)

He didn't seem to lubricate the new o-rings either ..... and I would always recommend a backup wrench on that one fuel line (which appeared to be the source of his leak to begin with).

Agree again - leave it in. With the comments in this thread, it is helpful to the owners of the early engines to see it clearly.

No pain, no gain.

Changing from the fuel system to another topic.....

The OP mentions installing an upgraded oil cooler in the future. Hopefully he/she doesn't get THAT from Sinister!

Do you get air bubbles when filling the secondary fuel filter bowl (empty the fuel filter bowl and turn the key on without cranking - note it should fill quickly)?

The test I described is not testing injectors for leaking combustion gas ..... instead it is testing to see if air is getting into the fuel system from the supply side of the fuel system (tank, filter, pump).

The injector bubble test is a cranking test with a full secondary fuel bowl and the fuel pump disabled .....
