You can use a part # 0.280.160.200 the part can comes from 75-79 Bug, or 74-83 Van. I'm running the dual line regulator on my 83 that came from an 87 Vanagon. The early model 0.280.160.200 will require a T but will be in the right pressure range and should work good. If you don't want to install a T you need to block one of the fuel lines since later models are a full loop. I don't know why you couldn't find this part at a FLAPS. Rocky Mountain list it at $59.00 I'll explain why I'm running the 87 double inlet regulator if list members need to know.
