Help Needed No.1 Camira Fuel Pump Regulator

Stupid question time:
Is it necessary to fit the regulator that sits right next to the fuel pump from a Camira if you have a regulator at the end of the fuel rail in your new engine ?
I am trying to fit a 1G-GZE to my RA23, with a Camira fuel pump sitting low under the back of the car.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Mitch.

i was under the impression that this was a damper, not a regulator.
if it is a regulator, since it doesn't have a return line, it would just be a restrictor!!
be it a regulator or damper, i would leave the assembly intact, simply because it is so close to the pump, is easily retained, and may have some beneficial effects for the pump 
the VL's (with samepump and thingy near pump) also have a fuel pressure regulator after the fuel rail, which is vac referenced, and is external type with hose connections... i did not see any other dampers in the Vl lines, so i had figured the one near the pump was it...

Stewart,
You would be dead right mate, it must be a damper, not a regulator. And it would seem like a good thing to keep if it smooths out the flow of fuel from the pump. The problem I have is that with the captive nuts welded onto the chassis rail on the right-hand rear of my car to mount the fuel pump, I now don't have the room to fit this damper, hence my question.
Thanks for the heads up.
Cheers,
Mitch.

no worries... you could easily mount it further away from the pump..
if it is a damper (and what the heck does the bolt on top do ) it might be there to dampen the fuel pumps pulsations, rather than the pulsations from the injectors. if thats the case, then it may help if it is retained somewhere reasonably close to the pump perhaps?
stick a pressure gauge on, with and wothout and see what happens...
i'd be tempted to run without it first, (can 'dry run' the system with just the pressure reg and plug the injector holes) and see if there are pulses from the pump itself...

yes it is a damper - as stu suggests to remove the fuel pump pulsations and supply the fuel rail.
as its part of the bracket that comes with the fuel pump and holden put it there for a reason, i'd use it

Thanks Stewart and Grega, appreciate your input. I will have to find a way to mount the thing. I do have the original bracket that it mounted to on a Camira but I have ended up using the mounting 'cradle' from a SV11 Camry fuel pump as it has better isolation rubbers on the mounting holes, and it gets the whole pump up high and nice and close to the chassis rail where I have welded a pair of captive nuts.
Cheers,
Mitch.
