Engine swap fuel pressure question
I am swaping a TPI injected 350 with a carbed 383, I was worried about the pressure that the TPI pump puts out, would a holley fuel pressure regulator designed for a carb effectivly knock that pressure down. I plan og getting the pressure regulator with the bypass option.
Any suggestions or comments?

That would be fine. A bypass regulator with a return line is essential, using a deadhead regulator with an internal bypass will burn up the stock pump in short order.

Mallory #4309 is a very common suggestion for a return-style regulator.
