fuel pressure and regulators

 Use a bypass-type regulator.  The continuous fuel flow keeps the pump
cool and prevents the pressure creep that's common on most deadhead
regulators when the engine is shut down hot.  It took a regulator change
to fix a hot-start problem we had with a TBI truck we converted to carb.
