corvette filter So which way is it everything i look at shows different. Is the 5/16 the inlet from pump and the 3/8 is the return to the tank? That is how my microguard 33737 filter is marked also.

I am looking at the filter in question right now in my hand. Mine is not marked, But 67skylark is correct with the mounting locations(inlets and outlet). If yours does not have the 5/16 center return and 3/8 side feed with a 3/8 center outlet, you may have the wrong filter in the box. Which case may not be the 55psi regulator that you need.

Since yours is new like the one I have, but without the markings. try this. You can blow thought the inlet easily. You can not blow through the return. This filter allows pressure to build all the way to the injectors first and then the excess is bled off through the return to the tank.

The return line on this filter is also the pressure regulator, just like lsxranger said. You will not get anything through it until it exceeds the pressure it it rated to. I think that rating is 50 psi, I might be lieing though.
The sticker isn't upside down, just on the wrong side. In your picture, if the sticker was in the same direction, just on the other side (where you couldn't see it, next to your hand in the pic) it would be labeled correctly.
