I don't recall a specific number but it normally is around 30-35psi for a fuel injected car.

30-35 at idle or WOT?

As is, it is set at 30 at idle, and goes to 40 at WOT.

Is that good for a stock B16 with exhaust and intake?

30-35 is at idle...40psi at WOT is fine for an n/a engine

if you have forced induction you want up to 60-70psi for WOT to prevent leaning out

Just looked up the spec for the B17A1- B16A is identical.

With the vacuum line removed from the regulator and plugged, a gauge between the fuel pump and regulator should read 48-56psi.

Spec for the B18A is 41-48psi. Odd that they are different.
