You agree with fuel pump location.

Everything goes through the return regulator first. Then it’s just a flow loop until the floats drop and then most of the fuel goes to the carb rather than back to the tank.

The return regulator is not made to run through first, but to be the last before the tank. That's why it's a return regulator because it's made to go in the return line, not like the picture above.

Terrible location. That puts the pump above the tank. It needs to be well below the tank, so that it is basically gravity fed. Electric pumps are made to push, not pull. They don't pull very well and the more they have to the shorter their life span. Even if it is well ahead of the tank, I would put it on the frame rail in front of the rear axle C channel, where the frame rail is parallel with the ground.

That's why you use this new invention. Maybe you've heard of it. A drive shaft loop. Some people even run one in front and one in back.

Like this ^^^^ You can see the supply coming to the carburetor, then the return loop and the regulator in the return line.

Holley says you can plumb it either way...not that I believe much of what they say. But I’m not sure it matters if it returns before the carb or after. I’ve done it both ways and it’s never made a difference.

There was a time in the late 80’s where the trick of the week was to put the return at the pump and that sucked. System recovery was so slow it was essentially worthless.

It really doesn't. Just to ME it makes it easier and less cluttered in the return line.

Who makes an in the tank fuel pump for a carb application? If I could find one, I’d use it.

Aeromotive makes the most reliable in-tank pump, their Phantom system is a self-install universal fit set-up. You can also buy a new Stealth GEN II OEM tank with a 340 Liter per hour pump, that'll support 1,000 HP on Carb or 850 HP on EFI. Comes fully assembled with sending unit and in-tank baffle for $562 complete!! We have one, with a return in our '69 Valiant. Chassis mount pumps are obsolete.
