The gen 4 has three lines on top of the pump, one line goes to filter and then to engine, one's a vent the other is a return, if I don't run a vette reg, what do I do with the return? and the gen 5 has 1 line going to the filter then engine, how do I vent this pump? So your saying the neither pump requires a vette regulator, just a filter?
Thanks again Leon!

I'm not sure what height bucket would work in a chevelle. As far as the recess, since I can't weld, I paid a guy to make my recess in my tank ($50). Do you have access to an old tank? If so, I'd measure and think out it would go in. Are you totally against making a hole in your trunk?
The three Fbody lines on the bucket- large diameter one draws fuel up from pump, out of bucket and the line T's with the smaller opposite line. This smaller line, which has a T on the line, is the return and has the fuel pressure regulator line. The pump delivers greater than 58psi....the fuel pressure regulator "adjusts fuel pressure", sends proper fuel to engine and what ever is left over gets returned to the fuel bucket. This cycle continues minute after minute as the pump runs. Bucket has fuel in it always. This keeps the pump quiet, cool, and a source of fuel as the tank gets low...and you turn corners and it cannot pickup fuel from the stock pickup. The middle line is the fuel vent. Connect this to a charcoal filter or run to fuel rail if you are keeping the smog stuff. I'm running my lines just like the the picture shows, no additional FPR.
The main pickup of the bucket has fuel sock..used for filtering. I run an inline filter just as the fuel heads up to the front of the car.
This diagram shows you the parts of the fuel bucket. Item 9 is the FPR.
