Im not facing any problems , i did little wiring to make the injectors fit , i did a fuel pressure test earlier and it was 46 psi at idle , i dont have a vacuum hose going to the pressure regulator since i bought the car , i dont know if it was a good read or i do have a weak fuel pump since car dont start right away

Put the manifold reference line back on. "A little wiring" could mean anything. I'll tell you what the part number on my 4holes when I get back to CT. I think that is what you are asking?

I looked at the specs and I see no reason why they would not work... Also the wiring he did was just the EV1 to EV6...I hope. Now these are longer than the OEM is since they are EV6CL I don't know how much longer they are or if they would allow the fuel rail to bolt all the way down. Now I went with Bosch 0280156161on my 2000 which were longer than OEM since they are EV6EL and have no issue. So my gut feeling is saying no issue with fit or pressure...

Yeah the wiring i did is ev1 to ev6 adapters but i noticed no improvement on performance i got a read on fuel pressure 46 psi w/o the reference vacuum line on the pressure regulator , does that mean i have a good fuel pump or it need to be replaced since the car doesnt start right away ?

46psi is really high for a 95, Stock pressure is something like 31 and then it can go up a little with the vacuum line off.

Download a copy of the factory service manual from Cruiser54.com -> Technical Manuals and it will have the full steps for the fuel pressure test and the values to check against.

I think i have a bad pressure regulator , since the gauge needle drops pretty quick when i shut off the car and have high emissions , im confused pressure stay at 46psi at idle but drops very fast when shut off , is it a regulator or fuel pump ??

I connected the vacuum line to the pressure regulator and had a 36 psi read then but have the needle shaking and when i give it throttle it drops to 34 psi then back to 36 psi and as soon i shut it off it drops to 0 in seconds do i need to replace my fuel pump ??
