Nothing new here, but let's give it a shot:

The in-tank electric pump needs a constant flow, which is accomplished by the factory fuel pressure regulator return. If you use a non-return regulator, you have to apply some sort of flow restriction to the return. You can do that with something like a needle valve in the return line that maintains minimum fuel pressure under maximum engine demand, but it's a bit of a trial & error process. A return-style regulator makes it a simple process.

You need the wires currently going to the coil hooked up to a coil-in-cap HEI distributor. The pink wire is the ignition-switched power, the white wire is the tach sensor wire.

Get a corrector bracket that attaches to the throttle arm for the TV cable. Search summitracing.com, jegs.com, etc.
