what you need is the holley HO 12-804
this regulated between 1 and 4 psi, adjustable
if they dont have, then buy HO 12-803 and the rebuild kit which comes with springs for both the 12-804 and 12-803. Then swap springs, you now have the lower pressure one.

Try All American Parts in Milnerton or Motown in Stikland
All American is cheaper

I got the Holley HO 12-804 from Motown in Stikland for R800, plus a pressure gauge for R500. Thanks again for the tip Tony!
