CB1,
My fuel pump is mounted just in front of the tank on a frame rail that goes across there. My pickup is through the top of the tank and my line to the engine goes along the left side frame rain and is protected all the way. As for the regulator, Imounted it in the engine bay at the front of the engine and got a pressure gauge that goes in it. When I have the car running and the hood open, I can adjust my pressure from zero to the full 14 pounds, but Holly said to run 6 to 9 pounds. Then I have a clear inline filter between the regulator and carb. I can give you the number of the regulator that I have and the gauge that screws into it. The gauge stays in all the time by the way.
