Ford Thunderbird, 1983
Oct 2^nd, 2020 at 4:53pm

Hi Everyone,
Had a 1983 Ford 5.0L CFI roll in this week and the first thing I notice apart from a fast idle complaint is leaking fuel from the top of the pressure reg. (gut feeling was "Run Forest Run")
Does anyone have suggestions where I could source a fuel reg from? This reg sits under the air cleaner behind the two injectors. The securing screws come up from underneath the throttle body so guessing I may need gakets as well.
It has just had a fuel pump fitted by a chain store so unsure if it has the correct pump. (it has a very noticible whine)
Not a car that was ever sold here so parts and info is scarce.

Thinking I might leave it to the owner to source since it has to come from overseas, that way I can avoid the wrong part/warranty hassles. Reputable brand or what I should avoid is what I'm looking for.
