fuel pump suggestions

alright, so i just ditched the crossfire setup in my car. now running a holley 4bbl 4150 with a GM intake.

question is, is there a regulator made that will bring the fuel pressure down from my intank electric fuel pump enough to not spill gas out of my carb? or do i need to go ahead and install the mechanical pump.

thanks

You couldn't have searched, because this is discussed regularly.

Yes, Mallory 4309, and others. You need one that uses a return to control pressure, because the factory in-tank electric pump needs a constant flow of fuel to keep cool. The cheap dead-head type of regulator will burn it out.

Wherever is convenient in the engine compartment. Away from heat sources is always a good idea.
