Fuel pressure regulator mounting ideas?

[V8 Rumble]

as the title states I need some ideas/pics of fuel pressure regulator mounting in the engine compartment. I currently have an Eddy carb and mechanical pump.

this is my current setup with out a regulator




Thanks,

Joe

Here are just two options you can buy.

One mounts it to the heads and the other mounts it off the side of carb.

I just made a bracket to mount my 4 port to the front intake bolt with the fuel line from the cell running straight up to it.

Thanks guys. The brackets look nice but probably more than I would like to spend. Looks like I'll be doing something like 565bbchevy. Looks good!

Did you place the filter before the inlet? The instructions on mine say to place the filter before the inlet of the regulator.

On my Monte I have my filter attached to the inlet of my Paxton 300 electric pump in the back, the SBC I am doing in the summer will have a mechanical fuel pump and that filter will be between the pump outlet and the regulator which I will also make a bracket for and mount it similar to my Monte.

Would having the filter on the outlet of the regulator have any affect on the regulator?

 

[565bbchevy]

I have my fuel pressure gauge mounted directly to an outlet on the regulator (with AN hose) so the reading I get is exact and I think having the fuel filter before the regulator will work better since the fuel filter will cause a restriction but since you will be giving it full pressure though the filter and up to the regulator it will not change the adjustment on the regulator.

Just made an L bracket and mounted it up. I'm gonna get a 45* & 90* fittings to get the hose to line up better. I just have to trim up the bracket a touch. Otherwise I think it looks good.

Are you talking about the hose coming from the fuel pump not lining up? If so couldn't you put a bend in your bracket right at the bottom of the regulator to adjust the angle.

The regulator side is good I adjusted the bracket. It's the banjo. Since I have put in the banjo is always been in the position you see in the pic and can't put it vertical because the hex piece won't allow the banjo to fit vertical.

But before the regulator I had some slack in it and now the hose is sitting on the carb choke side. I am getting am an fitting in the carb inlet and a 90* fitting. Besides I would rather have it pointing down.
