Does it make any difference where you mount the filter/regulator on the frame to keep the 58 lb. pressure at the rail? Just pick an easy to get to spot?

It doesn't make much difference although closer to the tank will use less hose for the return.

^ This.

I've personally mounted it right next to the engine on my jet-boat, and right at the tank on a G-body. Both worked well.

Also, I'd stick with a GM /ACDelco filter.

In the past with parts store brands, I've got two of them....TWO of them that have been bad out of the box. Also have a buddy that had the same problem.

Thanks for the advice. Would like to mount it on the crossmember behind the tank and then only have one line to the front, but didn't know if I would lose pressure over the longer distance. I have a Wix filter, but thanks for the info on some bad ones. That would be a quick change if you had problems.
