Hey all, i'm working on my 2000 Mercruiser 7.4 MPI and ran into a low fuel pressure condition, when I turn key on engine off pressure spikes to about 40 psi then drops down to 18 psi, with engine running at idle pressure is about 28 psi. I figure the fuel pressure regulator may have failed and I'm not too familiar with this vacuum based regulator system. From what I can see there's a fuel pressure regulator right above the fuel pump and a vacuum hose connected to it that goes to a T connector, one end of the T goes to the intake plenum and the other end goes to some sort of other regulator. I plan to replace both regulator but I can't seem to find the part # for the regulator off the T that's right next to the distributor in any parts diagram?

This is the diagram i'm using:

In the diagram it just shows B -> to fuel rail pressure regulator and I checked the diagram for the fuel rail/intake plenum and the regulator isn't shown on that diagram either?

test the regulator before trying to replace it.

test the fuel pump output by itself.

How would you go about testing the regulator and fuel pump? I have the cool fuel system and the whole setup is in an assembly box that's real tight, not sure how I could get any connector in between the parts to test

The manual covers testing the regulator and pump. I would follow the manual
