Default Corvette fuel pressure regulator

Does it make any difference where I mount the filter regulator in the fuel line
Close or far away from tank. Higher or lower than tank. New fuel tank with in tank tank pump mounted under the bed of 50s Chevy pickup

Not really.. (as far as I know).. but people usually puts them close to the tank and that way you have a shorter return line.

On both of my swaps. They are mounted higher than the tank and have less than a 2 foot return line.

Same here, except my return line is probably a foot or two longer. With 58psi of pressure I don't really think it matters.

I agree with them. Doesn't really matter.
I also put mine as close as I could to the tank to minimize the cost of the return line.
