hi think my fuel pressure regulator may have the wrong vac pipe on it!
should it have the vac pipe from the idle valve or one from the brake servo hose??
cheers

From memory, it's the pipe that has the moulded U shape & comes from a stab in on the large pipe from the idle air valve

Yep, the fuelling will be way off if there's vacuum on it as, on the Omega, it's actually referenced to atmospheric pressure just ahead of the throttle body.
