car wont start

a carter fuel pump for a carb engine. my problem is a bought a fuel regulator I turned it all the way down and according to my fuel gauge I'm still at 20-25 psi I don't know what I else I can do , everything is new ( even the fuel lines ) ?
Can you list a model number please, on both pump and regulator? Just to put another set of eyes on it to double-check. Regulatro is inline after the pump correct? Yeah, I know, dumb question, but it's time to look over every possibility...
