Seth, sound like you may be an adherent of the KISS theory (Keep It Simple Stupid.) I certainly am.
I put a fuel pressure regulator on my car because when I bought it the mechanical fuel pump put out zero PSI and I had to use the electric fuel pump to go down the road. The 6V fuel pump put out too much pressure for the Holley 94 carb, gasoline everywhere. At the time it seemed less expensive to add a fuel pressure regulator than rebuild or replace the mechanical pump. In hindsight, maybe not true, but that's what I did at the time.
