Definitely important to get the right regulator.

Right.  It's advertised for 4.5 - 9 psi.  For a SU, ZS or Weber carb, you
want the 1-4 psi version.

Since the Holley "blue" pump puts out nearly 14 psi, that's a perfect
example of the kind of setup I was talking about.  However, for the street,
motor-driven fuel pumps also need a bypass line back to the tank.  Otherwise
the fuel in the pump may overheat under no/low flow conditions, leading to
erratic fuel pressure & mixture.

BTW, the Holley "blue" pump is also available without the (wrong) pressure
regulator, P/N 12-812.  Kind of overkill for the street, though, IMO; unless
you're really getting over 250 hp out of your Triumph.
