Pressure reg

I need some info on a 1994 4.3 Vortec 148K pressure regulator Vin W, my parts guy(NAPA)says its Dealer item the dealers tell me I have to buy the whole spider assy. There is no replacement for the regulator itself, the part with poppets and all is $480.00 I was hoping to find an easier on the wallet repair. the customer is on Social Suck and really can't afford them numbers for an older truck. I was thinking of using the one off the TBI but have been told that doesn't work, any thought? TIA

Don't know anything about them but these folks rebuild those injectors, they also sell just the regulator. Maybe worth a look.

Dealer is right.

Maybe the customer should drive a vehicle they can afford?

Pressure regulators are pretty generic in function, If you can nail down the factory rail pressure specifications then a aftermarket adjustable reg. could be used with a gauge......neccessity is the mother of invention Summit racing and edelbrock has all kinds of regulators for fuel injection usage.

A brand-new unit can be had for less than 20% more than Lindertech's re-built unit. The injector can be had from

for $276.41, part number 17113673. It's also suggested that the "nut kit" be replaced at this time also. This kit includes the inlet and return lines inside the manifold and are also prone to leaks, they're $44.72 from the same place, part number 17112705. It's not cheap, but this is the right way to do the repair. Lindertech doesn't replace the poppet nozzles, I found these to be VERY brittle on the injector in my 94 when I replaced it.

FYI, use the same part numbers at
