wouldnt the corvette fuel filter with a built in FPR be considered an external FPR?

I used some nylon braided AN line and connectors to hook it up which was pricey but if cost is an issue you could just as easily use rubber fuel injection line and fuel injection clamps.

Here is a picture. May not be the best way to do it but it doesn't look bad and works fine. If I had an engine cover that fit on the TBSS intake it wouldn't even be seen.

I used the Vette filter/reg on my swap and works great,BUT right now at wot fuel pressure dopped from 58-35.It has the Walbro 255 intank fuel pump too! I bought a HOTWIRE kit,basically a larger gauge wire from the fuel connecter to the alternater and it only drops 10 psi.Hopefully I can get it tuned without any issues now!Dont know what else it could be.We'll see tomorrow.
