That's correct; Central Point Injection.

Should be about 80+ psi. But I don't think you can remove the vacuum for the FPR.

You'll probably pull the fuel from that schrader valve, so 80 psi is what I'd base it on for the fuel nozzle.

That's not quite correct. It's CSFI. Central Sequential Fuel Injection on the '96 and newer 4.3's.

I was thinking of the 92-95's for some reason; yes, it's sequential, not port.

It's a really shitty system if you are looking to make power. You have no ability to up your injector size and the fuel pressure is already through the roof.

Yes, I agree with it being a bad system for performance. Yet with a wet 75 shot on the 4.3, there isn't much to worry about.
Fortunately, some of us with the 4.3 S-10's have overcome the fueling issue so we have the potential to make some power.
