Default Corvette filter/regulator issue

Finishing up an LS1 install on a 94 Jeep yj. If I hook up the filter regulator (from Speedway) the right way middle larger line in the middle to pump (wet Walbro 255) and the return line to the outside small diameter fitting I get 0 pressure. If I hook them up opposite I get 60 psi on the auto meter that's.

Bad filter/reg?

The "right way" is the way that gets you 58-60 psig on the outlet Chris.

In my notes, I've have written that regardless of how the two are oriented on the filer/regulator, 3/8" is the SUPPLY from the tank and 5/16" is the RETURN to tank.
