Default Where's my pressure regulator located???

Hey guys, I have been told my fuel pressure regulator is in the following places:

1) In the tank - fuel sending unit
2) Just outside of tank - Regulator / filter combo
3) A T-connector, just after the filter, outside of tank.
4) Up front on my fuel rail.

My setup is a 2000 LS1 from a Camaro, IN an '87 RX7 Turbo II.

I need to know what needs to go between the pump and the engine! Of course, only have ONE (1) line running up to the fuel rail.

What about a regulator? Do I need to reg / filter combo, or what?

Any info would really help! <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

Thanks! I CAN work with that info! I've got Z06 fuel rail covers, so I'm going to keep my '00 setup. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Thanks again.

Here's the RX7 so far....

Stock, the regulator is in the tank. It's part of the pump hanger/level sender hanger.

The thing in the rail is a pulse damper to limit line hammer in the rail. Filter is just a filter, and the T-fitting just provides a path from the feed off the pump to the inlet side of the regulator.

If you're not using the factory tank, you will need to provide a regulator.

you could always use the '97 rail, it has provisions for a feed and return line, and a rail mounted regulator
