Hm, like he mounted it close to the OE fuel separator? In that area? Got a pic?

That actually sounds like a good place to mount one if you're trying to hide it.

HWYSTR455,

Well, here's the only pic I have at the moment. I should have taken a few more when we were installing the exhaust system. The regulator is to the left and kind of hard to see and the tank is at the bottom of pic. We did adjust the pressure down to 5.5 psi from 7.5 it was set at for a Holley carb.

Ah, I see now, on the trunk side. Guess he ran the lines like that to include the gauge back there. I bet that would clean up easy with aluminum lines and tube nuts.

There's not a lot of room back there, the housing can swing up and make contact if it's not tight.

Yeah, I hear what you are saying...but, we checked the rear end travel for any conflict and all the hardware and lines were well out of the way...just not pretty. I like your idea to clean things up with more hard lines that are direct. We did also remove a couple mud-dauber nests when we were back there. Those came from its few years down in Florida before I got it.

I found a few more pictures that show the 'plumbing'.
