If this is a TBI the answer is yes. The kit is not much more the a few gaskets and a spring and a diagphram. This controls your fuel pressure at the TBI. You need around 11 psi for a TBI engine to run smooth. I installed an adjustable regulator with a fuel pressure gauge installed on the fuel inlet. This way I can always check the fuel pressure with a quick look under the hood.

mr vls, could you provide the parts needed to install a pressure gauge?

Maybe a picture would help also. Thanks.

I purchased my adjustable fuel pressure regulator, Injector Spacer, Fuel Pressure gage, Tee and inlet fittings from CFM-tech. Here is the link:
