I never actually got as far as installing everything (thanks, Edelcrock), but I purchased a regulator from Mallory (thru Summit). You definitely need a 3 port, one is the return for the return line. If you just get a 2 port it will burn up the pump.

If nobody posts a PN or link, I'll go find my receipt.

The Mallory #4309 has been working perfect for my application so far. Just be sure to wire the Fuel Pump Relay correctly.... and remember that the Electric Fuel Pump, and the Oil Pressure Switch share the same relay.
