what kind of info are you looking for, there are many people that I have read that use an external pump and the corvette filter regulator. From what I have researched it seems like you want to keep the fuel pump lower than the tank to help gravity feed it, as they do not like to pull the fuel, or sump the tank if that is an option. There are a few photos that show how to set this style of fuel system up, I don't have any handy at the moment but I am sure I could find one if that is what you are looking for.

The return should run from the filter to the tank and then he feed line should run from the tank to filter then from filter to fuel rail.
