looking for fuel pressure regulator...

« **on:** August 23, 2012, 02:32:51 PM »

is there something that can mount to the right of my fuel pump that keeps all my hoses "straight" ? most everything im finding that doesnt cost $300 feeds from the bottom and has dual side outputs like its made to mount right next to the carb...

The holley regulator has straight thru fittings and the adjustment is on the middle

I've got an Aeromotive regulator for sake over on PB. And I think it's the closer the regulator to the carb(s) the better.

i have a torker intake manifold and it rotates the carb in such a way that it puts the fuel rail right into the valve cover. i have one of those 30* swivel fittings on it right now, and then a line runs down to the fuel pump. i dunno where else really to put it. not in the picture below is the alternator that sits right in front of the exhaust manifold. i could somehow fandangle it on the front of the motor but for what? one foot difference than it being on the stringer? you think it'll make that much of a difference?

With only a foot difference I don't know how much of a difference it would be. I just know that the closer the better to prevent pressure drop in between the regulator and the carb. Most people mount them right off of the carb or in front of it on the intake. But like you said your intake makes your carb angled. Maybe get a carb spacer to lift it up just enough to give you some clearance....

I think the old school Mr. Gasket round regulator has a side in and out. I think i had one on my Vw. But it looks like you can get away with a holley one just change up your lines, and why can't you mount it on its side and come out with a 90* up to the carb.
