Hi All,

My 54 E35 has a very high vacuum reading (6 at 1800, and 6.5 at full rpm).  
Between my wet pump and gyros is a regulator that is shaped like a small bottle

with "Cessna" printed on it.  On top of this bottle looking thing is a screw 
like thing for adjustment.  I could not turn the screw like thing with my 
small long nose plyer.  I did not have a larger plyer, and might not have enough

grip.  Question:

Can I use a Vise-Grip to turn it, or would I damage it with too much force?
Which way do I turn to reduce vacuum, and how many turns to reduce about 2"?
How come it does not have a filter like other regulator for dry pumps?

Thanks.
