fuel pressure regulator

Have any of you guys installed a fuel pressure regulator and gauge. I want to install one on my 69 442. Car has AC and a stock block mounted fuel pump. I don't see any good place to mount one.
If any of you have done this, I would appreciate a pic of your mount location.
I want it to look good, be accessible and functional.
Thanks for any input

I had a Holley regulator on my car for several years. It was mounted right at the fuel pump on a short metal tube coming off the fuel pump outlet port. Sorry, no pics of that setup.

I have a stock quadrajet on a very near stock 400 BBO.
Your set up is very similar to the set up I have on my 67 Camaro.
Thanks for your reply

What is your current fuel pressure? If its not over 6#'s, no need for a regulator.

I can't say what my fuel pressure is currently.
I have my carb off the engine for rebuild. I hope to get my carb kit from Cliff Ruggles either today or tomorrow. Then I should be able to check every thing out.
I also seemed to introduce an additional electrical issue that I will attack tomorrow and post help request in Electrical section.

Got my carb rebuilt and reinstalled today. Checked fuel Pressure @ 6 PSI so I'm not gonna be using a regulator. Tach out for clock repair so it will be a couple weeks before I can really check it out good
