If you want to install a fuel pressure regulator then purchase an adjustable one. You can dial in the pressure you want.
I would suggest looking at your float setting... You are having problems on a hill climb but not on level surfaces. Sounds to me like you need to adjust your float setting.
I've ran 32/36 webers at 7psi with no issues.

For checking fuel pressure you will need a fuel pressure guage installed after your fuel pump. Crank the engine 4 or 5 revolutions to build pressure and you'll get your reading.

Remember, you can't just install an aftermarket carb and expect it to work flawlessly, you need to tweak on it to ensure trouble free driveability.

Popular fix is to add a vent tube in the carb:

Lets excess fuel drain in the air cleaner housing instead of pouring down inside the carb.

One of the reasons you’re not getting any help is because no one can understand your posts. The phone is no excuse for speaking like a 2 year old...

Here is a thread for you...
