Any suggestions for a reliable/accurate fuel pressure regulator for my VW-based Speedster? Got to get it down to about 2.5 psi.
Also want to install an in-line pressure gauge. Suggestions please.

Presuming you have an electric fuel pump; as an alternative to a permanently installed in-line gauge, you may prefer one of these for adjusting fuel pressure, or spot checking it: http://vwparts.aircooled.net/V...ssure-gauge-tool.htm
Avoid these and all of their look-a-likes: https://www.ebay.com/i/2544151...p;mkrid=711-117182-3
Any experience with Holley's 1-4 psi regulator?
I prefer no regulator at all. If a mechanical pump, use stacks of gaskets to bring the pressure down. If it's electric, buy a self-regulating rotary pump. Weber's get 3psi, Solexes 1.5psi. Not sure where your 2.5 psi came from. The only reason you really need a regulator is if you have Solexes and an electric pump.
Any cheap vacuum gauge usually also has a low pressure range on it for up to about 10 psi. A brand new gauge can be had for about 30 bucks.
P.S.: that engine-mounted inline pressure gauge? They fail, especially with ethanol. Ask Max how we know........
Mis-typed. Should have written 1.5 instead of 2.5. Good catch
Had the Holley regulator on my next to last car (Aztec Gold Speedster)..... Worked well...
