Im looking for suggestions on how to plumb the fuel lines for the PMO carbs. Where should the regulator be mounted?

Two regulators - one in front reducing the pressure to about 12 psi. Second one in engine bay on firewall reducing pressure to 4 psi. This has served me well for about 10 years.

Wow, you used a REAL pressure regulator not the BS PMO one.

Whats wrong with PMO regulators ? Are they not good ? I was just going to order one. Should I buy some other ? What's good ? Aeromotive ? At least they are expensive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Ron must not like them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The Malpassi fuel regulator I'm using is favored by a lot of weber shops (Pierce Manifolds, aircooled.net, UK speed shops, etc) and should be easy for you to find in Europe. They came stock on a few cars over there as well. Made in Italy.

They are real small, less than 3 inches.
