Default Fuel Pressure Regulator Questions

I'm looking at three fuel pressure regulators:
1. Aeromotive SS series
2. Quick Fuel Billet
3. Holley Billet

Which of the three do believe has the highest quality?

Where have you mounted them?

Thanks

I am using a Summit regulator but here is where I mounted mine:




It has the inlet on the bottom and outlets on the sides so it fit nicely on the 'corner'

I'm done with that Holley billet crap !
I'll sell you one cheap.
Aeromotive is the way. Mounted on right inner fender near fuel lines.
Never a problem with steady pressure again.
No pics. Sorry.

Aero motive, it's been on the car for 10 years and still working well.
I used the stock return line for the return.
The MSD box failed last month after 8 years. Went back to a stock HELI from a 1980 - I see no difference in the car..

We run the Mallory return-style regulators on our race cars and street cars. Very reliable, and accurately adjustable The return system really saves the electric pump and prevents vapor lock and hot-weather problems on street cars. Here are a couple of photos of the Mallory regulator installed in different positions in the fuel system on our engines with return systems:

Very nice plumbing work.
I'll be running all stainless lines.
I've been making my own for years and can appreciate the work you have put into these lines.
Thanks, Greg
