You need a strong as hell regulator to with stand the 20-30psi not being used.Not saying it won't work but you need a damn good regulator.

check this, fuel pump fixed my problem. but wants to cut off randomly, making the car do the same thing as before, think wiring is just loose. but if my timing and mixture are off enough, would that m,ake the car stall out after pushing the choke in?...car runs fine, idles very high when choke pulled out. push choke in, car cuts off? oh and the fuel pump that was on my car....doesnt belong on an rx, not sure what car it came from.
