fuel filters and lines

So what filters and heads are you guys running when bypassing the factory filter. I've used the search and havn't come up with much. I've got an a1000, boost referenced regulator and enough 1/2 and 5/8 line to plumb it. Also what size line should I run from the regulator to the pump? 3/8?

I am running the filter FS1212, shorter version of FS1000. Baldwin is BF1212 or BF1259. You could probly do a search on DTR and find numerous filter head part numbers to use with those filters if you wanted to run them. Make sure you get a head that uses AN o-ring sealed straight thread fittings, not pipe thread. Well I guess you could use npt if you had it to where it was straight/inline. I prefer swivel an/jic fittings. 3/8 or 6an is just fine to run out of the regulator to the VE. Or go to Baldwin or Fleetguard's website and search those filter #'s and you should come up with the filter head #.
