Paul- One thing I've learned in the Q-Jet business is that everyone's car is different and some things are not set in stone. I still believe the system I described is ideal because the y-block set-up acts as a reservior for more available fuel to the carb., and mounting the regulator in front of the carburetor allows inertia to work for you pushing the fuel into the carb. I know that Phil is really high on the brand of fuel system they run and that may have something to do why their system works as well as it does. Maybe someone else's pump and regulator wouldn't work with this plumbing arrangement. You must understand that needle & seat size, bowl volume, line size, and fuel pressure all contribute to an effecient fuel system. Obviously, Phil and Frank have everything working together to perfection. Hope this helps. Danny
