with the pump behind the firewall somewhere, and another braided line for
the return.  somewhere I need to insert a fuel pressure regulator, since I
sawed off the one I had thinking it was something else (duh).  will it need
to be in the engine compartment? < < <



The fuel pressure regulator on the Eagle is located at the far end of the rails.  Fuel comes out of the firewall through a single -6 hose and tees to the rails... at the other end of the rails there are another pair of -6 lines that hook up to each side of the regulator (photo attached).  The -4 return line comes out of the bottom of the regulator and goes back to the selected tank through the (fairly expensive) fuel selector valve.
