Default Help needed with fuel pressure regulator

I'm using a Holley mechanical fuel pump with the stock-type 427 hard fuel lines and stock filter leading to a fuel log and a single Holley. I'd like to put a fuel pressure regulator between the log and the hard line coming from the filter. My problem is I can't seem to find a regulator that mounts in-line. Most I have seen have the inlet/outlet ports at 90 degrees from each other.

Can anyone recommend a regulator to mount there?

Has anyone else done this?

Default Why Doug?

Doug D, what's the problem, and why do you want to mount a pressure regulator there? Your fuel pump should put out 6-8psi with the car running. Do you have a gauge between the pump and carb? Ir you are running a double feed carb you can get a line with a gauge built on. The regulators are more for electric fuel pumps that run at a high pressure and more volume. Regulators are mounted on the inner fenderwell not the motor, with 2 lines going to the carb bowls. Some even have a fuel return line back to the tank. Hope this helps, If you are having a running problem you may need a carb adjustment. Rick L.

I want to mount it there because there's room for it there. I'm using a stock fuel system and would like to keep all the components I already have. I have twin electric pumps in the trunk and a Holley HP mechanical pump.

My fuel pressure gauge is in the dash.

There are plenty of regulators out there for 4-9 psi. I'm looking for one with the inlet and outlet ports in line vs at 90 degrees to each other.

Summit was the first place I looked. No 4-9 psi models there with the inlet/outlet ports in line.
