Jeremy,

The fuel line is not routed to the air-filters.  Yes, there are a myriad of braided hoses in my engine bay, but that is the crankcase ventillation hose going to the air-filters.  That line comes from the windshield wiper fluid resivoir which was converted to a catch-can.

The fuel line can be seen at the bottom of the picture attaching to the pressure gauge, then to the pressure regulator.  What is not visible is the hard line that is plumbed to the bottom of the regulator going back to the pump. 

As I mentioned in my initial posting this is somewhat of an 'overkill' solution.  The only major difference between using the Holley pump and a Lucas-type pump is the need for the regulator.  All the hard & braided lines are there primarly for safety when I go racing.  The technical & safety inspectors tend not to trust British cars, much less 30 year-old plumbing.
