Carburetor Fuel Regulators

I've had the same variable pressure problem with this regulator installed on one of my FB's with a 45 DCOE and carter pump. It goes up and down randomly, and I had been blaming it on my cheap Summit gauge. However seeing this thread is now making me wonder.
I was wondering if air in the lines might have an effect on the pressure reading, not sure about that but since I used clear fuel lines I can see that there is indeed air in there. Also I'm dead heading with the DCOE.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the Sterling I won, to be installed on another FB compares to the DCOE.
