Default Pics of where you mounted your FPR

Hey guys I need some ideas on where to mount my fuel pressure regulator. That is pretty much all I have left to finish on my fuel system. I just can't decide where to put it. If you have any pictures post them up I need some ideas.

Can you race at a track with it mounted to the firewall?

Yes and No. "NHRA rulebook (general rules) says... Cool cans, fuel-distribution blocks, etc. must be located at least 6 inches forward of the engine flywheel/ bellhousing area..." But that is for NHRA competition vehicles. I would think if you have a daily driver and went out for a saturday night at the track... they will let you run. Hope that helps.

I also mounted mine on the firewall, fabbed a bracket and had it powder coated. The stud on the firewall was perfect for mounting. It also lends it self to easy adjustment.

Sorry crappy cell phone pic.

Shoot us a pic of your engine bay and maybe people could help you better... I see you are only getting suggestions from the older body styles. Couldn't hurt...
