Here's mine 
The motor is a 502 GM crate motor. I went for a stock like setup as described in Lars's paper. There are a few vendors still selling the parts needed to make a fuel line as Lars describes in his paper.

This engine is one that a built for a Forum member. It's a 420 small block that dyno'd at 520 hp (and it has a PCV and vacuum advance):
This is a small block that I'm building for my own '64 right now. It's almost ready for the dyno - should dyno in at about 550. I'm fabricating the PCV system for it at this moment without punching holes in the original 64 valve covers. Notice the fuel lines and the fact that I'm running vacuum advance.
Here's a closer look at the lines at the carb. Compared to the 420 above, I moved the regulator to the rear of the carb so the fuel system will fit on the engine both with and without the carb spacer in place.

Just a small question on the placement of the filter. I have a race pump and regulator with the return line attatchment. Should the filter be between the pump and carb or can I place it back at the tank?

Welcome back Cott.............er, Lars
Lars,
Welcome back, good to see that you have not burned out and are back here helping out the helpless, well, speaking for myself, anyway.
Nice looking engine(s) you're building, can't wait to see the dyno results.

Any pump will "push" more effectively than it will "suck." For this reason, and to avoid vapor lock problems on the suction side of the pump due to pressure drop through the filter, filters should be placed between the pump and the carb (or injectors) - in the pressure side of the system. This is not to say that a suction side filter won't work - lots ofpeople run them successfully. But from a design engineering point of view, filters work best on the pressure side of the system.
