The problem, of course, is that a fuel regulator and a fuel pressure gauge 
go hand-in-hand.   Since he has a mechanical pump and is committed to 
removing the fuel pressure gauge, the regulator can only be set by gosh and by 
golly.   Full pressure from a standard mechanical pump is normally about 6-7 
psi (which is to say, perfect), so the only thing a regulator can be used for 
is to restrict the pressure and make it less perfect--and perhaps seriously 
imperfect.

I think the KISS principle would best be followed here....the pressure 
regulator should accompany the fuel pressure gauge to the shelf (or the trash).
