Thanks RonD. Well that clamp (not sure now without looking at it again whether it's on the return or on the incoming line) does do something, because when I remove it altogether from the line, the car has 0 power above idle. But after that it becomes a crap shoot: adjusted one way the pump starts making a constant high pitch noise, it almost stalls when cold at idle, but once warmed up there's a lot of oomph to the engine and the car is really quick. Adjust it to 40 psi at idle and it runs ok but less power. Real sketchy! It did 'sail through' the California smog check last month with this setup, so the PO managed that at least.
