Which Fuel Pressure Regulator

Right now my car has TPI set-up, but I'm putting a carbureated 383 in it. I want to keep my stock fuel pump and just get a fuel pressure regulator to keep the pressure low enough for a carbed engine, instead of fuel injection. What I need to know is which FPR i need to buy that will also work with the return line back to the tank. anyone know a specific one i should use. like part numbers? thanks a ton

I run a Mallory 4 port on my camaro, and I am still using my stock fuel pump. Been using this setup for about 6 years now.

mallory #4309 and it's the 3 port regulator, which actually has 4 ports on it since one of those ports is the send line.
