What do the experts say about that?
I have had Q-Jet customers that are very particular about regulator location and fuel line routing to the carb...
OK What you say Q-Jet experts??

6-6.5 PSI is what I run for fuel pressure. You need minimum 1 gallon of fuel delivery at the carb in less than 30 seconds. I run a Magna Fuel regulator dead head with #8 line from the cell to the carb. Regulator is mounted on the fenderwell I have one of those Chinese summit pumps that is similar to a holley blue pump. I have run 9.90 with my set up. My carb was built by Jim Boburka.
