You said you have fuel pressure, but is it within specs for the engine? also, with the engine off see if there is any fuel in the vac line going to the regulator. if so regulator is bad. if not, pull the vac hose and turn the key to the on position so the pump can cycle and see if fuel drips out of the line. if so, regulator is bad.

On the 5.7 vortec the regulator is inside the plunem (inside the top have of manifold with spider injectors) And my fuel pressure is at 61 and holdingso it is within spec.
