1988 2.5 Duke. I was checking my vac lines to try to clear up a stalling problem....I actually found a line had pulled free when I jacked up the engine recently to remove the pan. Regardless I looked at my pressure regulator and man it looks kind of bent up. So, does this thing look..normal?

IT does look like it was "smacked." I looked at an '88 manifold with TB in the shop and the center part "sticks out" on mine...

That is a cheap way to bump the fuel pressure.
Put a gauge on it, then hit the end pushing it in a little further each time till the fuel pressure raises where you want it to be. Bad thing is it becomes a pain to lower it back down.

Just like my last Fiero looks like I am spending the first year of ownership fixing the previous owners "fixes" . Looks like I might have find a new housing instead of trying to fix this one.
