Ok Guys,
So what does this mean.

Are Starquest owners are getting ripped off? Maybe, The people at MSD Can't
tell the difference from a performance part to a 1969 VW Part?

This is supposed to be used with the stock regulator not in place of it.
like George described the N9TEx.

I am getting a better idea of the installation procedure, although I can't
confirm this as fact.

I believe this part goes in the gas tank return line and to the intake. It
is described to have 3 ports (all unlabeled) gas in, gas out, boost/vacuum.
The way it is supposed to work is:

On boost restrict the amount of gas allowed to return to the tank, Thereby
increasing fuel pressure.

If this was installed like I described on a N9TEx, Would it increase Fuel
pressure on boost? If it does I am sure it is the same on a StarQuest.

Given it is a 1969 part. Can anyone get it real Cheap? I will certainly
play with it and report back.

John
