Default parallel fuel mod, is this correct?

ok my inlet manifold is off and ive modified and cut back the metal fuel pipes to suit,im then going to fit fuel hose to where ive cut the metal pipes back and use t pieces and an adapter to move the reguator into the middle of the return pipes. does it make any difference if i use the front two cylinders or the back two cyinders for inlet fuel as long as i put the regulator on the return two pipes? its took me a bit to understand how this all works but once i took the manifold off i could see everything. does this seem correct? ive taken a couple of pics of where ive cut the pipes. any advise is appreiciated. thanks

Same as Tim's on mine too.

ps the brass elbow that replaces the stock FPR is REALLY close if you have a 20g.

It'll probably be an aftermarket adjustable reg that is mounted elsewhere in the engine bay, not in the pic

what fuel pressure are you running Ken?
Also, they look like plastic fittings, you may want to keep and eye on them for degredation
