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.
