Default need help with edelbrock fuel rails

I just ordered a edelbrock ls-xt intake and fuel rails, my truck is an 02 silverado with the return style fuel system. What all will I need to run this intake? What fittings and how many, what length hose and what hose to go with. Also do I need a regulator, a gauge or anything else. I was told to make the truck injectors work I would need spacers and I was just wondering what people are using? Sorry for all the questions I just cant find all Im looking for through the search option

It really depends on how you want to plumb the fuel system, where you want the regulator to go, etc. Here's what I did...

See pics below for the front side.

In the back, I came off the feed line with a Y, then did a -6 line to the back of each fuel rail.





I did a split flow, some people do a continuous flow where the fuel goes in the back of one fuel rail, out the front, across and in the front of the other one, then out the back and into the FPR.

hey Thunder, did you have a return on that setup? I see the gauge sender on the FPR, but nothing else?

In the second picture, it's the line coming out of the bottom. I know it's hard to see

ok, I thought it was the feed line . . . I'm guessing the feed is on the driver's side

The feed is to the back of the rails, most likely from a y-fitting that splits the feed into each rail. Each rail dumps into a common chamber in the regulator, which controls the pressure by letting fuel out of its bottom back to the tank.

Oh, I reread his post, #3, and that's exactly what he did.
