Fuel pressure regulator need help guys!

I am ready to plumb in my regulator and I am not for sure on what one I need I have the stock in tank pump from the 3.1 I am going to be running a 750 holly dp. how mutch do i need to regulate it down. Also is there better lines out there I can run instead of the stock ones they got on the car I am going to move the fuel filter closer to the carb and put a nice inline one. any is appreciated!

Re: Fuel pressure regulator need help guys!

I put a return or bypass style regulator on my truck with the stock in-tank pump, This reduces pump back pressure. I've got my Demon carb running at 6 lbs. just to assure it doesn't blow the needles off the seat since 7 lbs. is max, I also had issues with ethanol drying out fuel lines and making them hard and crack...... I went to Summit and got braided line and fittings couple years ago and their still soft and pliable......
