Fuel Pressure Regulator

Looking for a fuel pressure regulator for a 1973 P1800ES. These are no longer available new. Anyone out there who has converted to carburetors and has one lying around?

Delphi makes the FP 10545.

It has the correct 8mm (5/16") barbed fittings for the D jet system and is pretty much a drop in fit for the early D jet fuel rails that had the regulator mounted on the firewall off the end of the fuel rail. For the later D jet fuel rails with the regulator mounted in the middle of the fuel rail you have to add a Tee fitting in the middle of the rail to run to the regulator inlet. You can suspend the regulator from the Tee (sort of like the original installation) or you can mount the regulator remotely on the firewall.

Thanks for those suggestions. I like the look of the Delphi and think I can source a tee piece, but waiting to see if anyone has an original that is any good.
