Next, I picked a location on the firewall for the bypass regulator. One thing to keep in mind is that locating the regulator on the firewall may NOT be legal for some types of racing, and honestly, I have no clue which those would be, so you may need to check if you plan to race.

Choose a location to the left of the firewall, keeping in mind the output should roughly be high/low enough, and somewhat lined up, with the carb feed line area(s). In my case, I'm running a Holley 4150 type carb, so you can see in the parts pic above I ordered a dual feed. Also, in my case, I had to eyeball it, since currently, the engine isn't in the car!

While I was choosing a location, I also was thinking about retaining clips for the hard lines, and found that one of the A/C box retaining studs was perfect for a clip. (red circle in pic)

I had to relocate the coil to mount the regulator in a spot I was happy with, and wow, I REALLY hate drilling holes in OE metal. Anyway, to fill the original holes, I found some black plastic plugs that do this perfectly from a place called Widgetco.com.
