Since you are useing it with a carberator you need a return style fuel pressure regulator.
http://www.jegs.com/i/Mallory/650/4309/10002/-1 $97. BTW that Jegs ad for it sucks it does not mention that it is a RETURN style regulator and then links comparables that are not return style regulators and the "race" is just Jegs marketing. EDIT; Here is the Summit ad read the top & then click the part link for more details.

You use three ports; One is the fuel line coming in from the tank. One is the fuel line returning to the tank. One goes to your carberator with a fuel pressure gauge between it and the carberator. A simple allen wrench turn fuel pressure up or down so that its whatever pressure you want which depends on the type carberator. Q-jets don't need as much fuel pressure as a Holleys etc because they have a small fuel bowl inside them. You mount the fuel pressure regulator in the engine compartment. I did mine on the frame end between the engine and the radiator when I ran this setup on my carberated 442. The fuel pressure guage just Ts into the hose between the regulator and the carberator. You can optionally put that fuel pressure guage on a short hose and mount the hose to the T so that you can look at the guage under the hood or put it under your wiper blade when you want to look at it while making a pass at the track test n tune or back road testing.
You will also need a return to the tank line. Here is one $21

Edit I forgot the fuel filter. I don't have a price I just used an early 90s 350tpi Camaro simple in line unit that was off the shelf at the local auto parts store for cheap. I mounted mine back by the tank in the little rubber line between the tank connection and your existing hard fuel line. Don't reuse your old hose get 3 feet of new 3/8" high pressure fuel line hose at any auto parts store cheap. You will cut it into 3 pieces feed line two pieces with the filter between them and one for the return line between your new hard line and the tank return connection. On the hard line you can option up to a steel line and use a bender or use the cheap easy to bend by hand aluminum and quality clamps or cheap zip ties your budget your choice. BTW I am told 3/8" line will support to about $600HP. I used it to feed a 500HP 509 with an 800 cfm Q-jet & had no problems, and I know that because I could check it at my windshield.
Your done. All new, all plug n play or as close as can be. Pump is quiet, safe, should live the life of any new car fuel pump. No loud buzzing pump and no having it hanging behind your bumper to be a hazard or to tip the guy in next lane off that you have a fuel system. Not only is it better and safer its also cheaper and easier than an old school gravity fed conversion with welded in sump or cell. Like I said just like a new Vette only with a carb instead of a fuel rail with injectors. Let me clarify better for a street car if you are building a wild drag car there probably is things better suited for your application.
