I have an aeromotive adjustable regulator. You can run either pressure depending on map and injectors. I'm running the higher pressure
 
@mrk5 I posted a picture of what I built in post #10. I wasn't lucky enough to score a freebie like Bent did.
 
Hey I didn't complain about the freebie. That bracket worked well, but it did need some .375" spacers for my use
 
Most of the time I just bend/tweak the factory brackets so they are the right length. Bolt them in and use a crescent wrench to set to the thickness of the metal to manipulate it where you need it. Sometimes I have to cut one and reweld it to fit the new intake, then give it a wire wheel or a media blast and a fresh coat of paint. No one knows.
 
I'm using this aftermarket one. Its cheap but no transmission cable.

I'll have to look around my parts shed. I feel like maybe I've go one like @Shawn. I know I've had some laying around from my carb on the old K5, just don't know if I ended up getting rid of them.
 
I noticed the instructions said to be careful where you mount the ECM so the O2 connection reaches. Did @Bent77 or @6872xtc have any issue with the ECM mounted in the cab?

I'll probably end up with mine on the passenger fender but I haven't ruled out cutting a hole in the fire wall.
 
Lots of cord for o2 . And I would just get the edelbrock cable bracket kit we all use . Has 4 brackets for 2 gm and 2 universal throttle and lockdown cables . And LOTS of adjustment on both to dial in the cable position .
 
I reused the TBI sized hole and mounted the ECM above the glove box.
The O2 sensor is in the driver's side pipe about 12" from the collector on the shorty header

I have slack coiled up on that O2 lead
 
Yup, lots of lead on the O2 wiring. My sensor is just below the lower frame rail flange on the driver side.
 
I have mine inside above glove box too. o2 reaches fine

I see those alum billet linkage pieces are $25 on ebay and amazon. Is this similar to the one from Edelbrock?

I think this is the one I'm using. I just took off the transmission piece. Its like 15-20 bucks.

Edit: It looks like mine goes back further so maybe not the exact one.

And a sending unit
So I just ordered the sending unit. The ONLY one I could find in stock for passenger pickup TBI fuel tank was on eBay (Dorman brand). I checked everywhere local and online I could think of. I also checked Blazer sending units and didn't find those available either except for a few on eBay.

The trans kickdown is currently set up on a bracket that bolts to the intake. You can see it below under the air cleaner. It extends up and also holds the spark plug wires.

I'm betting it won't clear the fuel rail on the BroFlow (Pro Flo). So I should probably look at that throttle cable bracket.
