What's the best way to route the return line/regulator/electric pump?

Using the original fuel pump in the 92 RS for my carbed motor. I've seen a few different ways to route the regulator and the supply/return lines. Curious of what yall have done, any Info is helpful thanks guys.

Look through the sticky above with pics of carb'd engines. Many with such setups in there.

I'm curious about this too. (91 RS 305) slamming in a 327 carbed engine next fall, unfortunately the pics I referenced really weren't all that much help... running a 750 quick fuel slayer series carb with dual inlet.

I made a simple bracket to mount the regulator on. Bolts to the driver's side strut mount. Had lines made from the existing fuel lines to the regulator. Then run rubber hose to the carb. Quick and easy.

I agree. The pics were ok, but not of just their reg/ret set up.
