WITCH ONE OF these ragulators WILL DO? I LIKE THE SPENDY ONES BUT I THINK THE LAST LINK WILL DO ....ANYONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS

ok i think i got this set up fig out THANKS to BLEACHZ ALWAYS KNOWING WHAT TO DO....... the only thing iam not sure of is the ragulator.. {WHAT KIND} I think i want it right at the start of the rail ,,, iam going to do fuel in at the front TO fuel out at the back style.. my wires that come out of my NEW clips are extra long so i think i can cut my harnees right at the OLD clips and make my harness longer so that it will go around the back side of the rail along the val cover to each injector ..i realy think that style is the best looking.. YOU GET MORE VIEW OF THE RAIL
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP AS ALWAYS BEACHZ

Don't you put the regulator on the output side of the rail? It holds pressure inside the rail and releases fuel as needed back to the tank.

I like this one the best. This one is what I plan to buy, but for turbo engines.

IF this is so then why is it that on the stock rail the ragulator is the frist thing after the fuel filter.. i also found some pics.......................... in the frist pic ,, what is the black tube in between the front of the rail and the tank return... this pic shows that he ran the regulator frist into the back of the rail and then out the front into the tank return.. i have seen this little tube in other pics look closely is it some kind of fliter going in to the tank return

also one pic of a sick body style does anyone know what company these body pieces come from... i think he modded them from a kit that goes to a diff style car nice work diff from everything i have seen

On the stock fuel rail, the regulator is last. The rail is a circle as you know and the entire rail is pressurized. The one spot where the fuel goes back to the tank is where the regulator mounts. The fuel has to go through the regulator to return to the fuel tank. The regualtor regulates how much fuel it will let back to the tank and that is what keeps pressure in the rail itself.

So if you follow the fuel lines, and your fuel filter goes to the line that feeds into the regulator first, then you have your fuel filter on the fuel return line!

so if i just buy a stock one then iam golden.... just mount it after the rail befor the tank return and she should work like a charm....... i really wanted a cool looking one that was for stock useage... iam running 190cc python injectors {not 550cc but iam stoked}

This one is really nice BLACK AND RED ..will it work for my stock setup...

For non-turbo apps such as yours you don't need anything special. Just pick one based on looks and price I guess...
