Default SR checking fuel presure

My car is running extremely rich (S14 w/ Red Top SR). It is really noticeable during hard acceleration in 1st gear. How do I check my fuel pressure and what tools do I need? I have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

You can get a pressure gauge for liquids at Ace Hardware for under $10. Stick a hose barb on it and T it in to the line between the fuel filter and the fuel rail. Make sure the gauge goes high enough.

The original fuel presure regualtor was damaged.
Since it had to be replaced anyways I bought an adjustable one.
