Don't take this wrong... not trying to be critical... I'd just hate to see a fire on such a cool car.
Being critical is more than welcome! How else do you learn? I do know about the rubber hose though. There are several things I just put on temporarily to get it running. I installed a new tank from Spectra with the electric pump in the tank. I used the factory 3/8" feed and 1/4" return and went straight to a Mallory 4309 regulator. 1/4" really is probably too small, so I might run another 3/8" line at some point. It's only a 50 gph pump, so I'll have to look into it a little more.
Thanks for the comments.
