In the engine bay theres a circular piece which has a hose coming out from the top of it, the hose is cut. I did some research and I think it might be the fuel pressure regulator?? if thats makes sense heres a picture which kinda looks like it. Does anyone have picture of it or an engine bay of a OHV 4.0? I could point it right out. Just dont know what it is yet.

no, there should be a vac line right there near the intake. mine comes from the left and is a red main line. just look around, you will find it there arent a shitload of vac lines anyway.

What you're pointing to in the picture is NOT your fuel pressure regulator. Its a vacuum actuator for your heating. Hence it's location on a heater core line and NOT a fuel line. Does your heat work?

The item that the red arrow is pointing to is a vacuum valve. This particular valve controls a short circuit valve in the heater coolant path. When this valve is closed (vacuum applied), coolant is re-routed back to the engine so that the AC doesn't have to work so hard to cool the cab. Essentially, it causes coolant to bypass the heater core.

Don't believe me? Run your AC and see if the hose gives a vacuum. Running in the AC on position, the switch may produce vacuum at the hose even if you don't have AC.

Either way, running that hose open could cause a (very small) vacuum leak under certain conditions. Use it or plug it.

By the way, You don't have a fuel pressure regulator. You have pressure regulated intermittent operation of the fuel pump. Your fuel rail is a metal plate with a schrader (bicycle type) valve near the front, and no return line to the tank. It is what the coils are mounted to, and extends front to back under the plastic intake on top of the engine.
