Default Fuel line routing and pressure regulator questions

I've been looking at pictures of Kirkham's and i have a few questions about the fuel line system.
I am going to use the electric pump that is recommended by kirkham. I see that most people have their fuel lines running from the front of the motor and i assume this is because they are using a standard mechanical pump, or am i wrong?

-I have also noticed that there is only one fuel line running into the pressure regulator and it is normally after the dual fuel line that feed the carburetor. I must be misunderstanding the way this system works. I was under the impression that the feed line from the tank ran into the pressure regulator and then out of it and to the carb. However, that is not the case and i do not understand how it regulates pressure when the line runs to the regulator after the carburetor.


Thanks for the help!

Im looking at pictures of this very nice car on ebay currently for reference.
