Uh, no regulator I've ever seen has 2 vacuum nipples. It has one big nipple for the fuel to return to the tank, and one little nipple for vacuum/boost reference, which controls fuel pressure. The small nipple needs to go to a source on the intake manifold that sees both vacuum and boost. When removing emissions/etc. I usually route this hose to the nipple on the LIM, just above the 2 oil injectors. The fuel outlet line needs to run to the one on the firewall by the oil filter. Simple as that.

that doesnt quite look like a stock regulator, though it might be the picture.
Pull the upper manifold off and take another, clearer picture for us.
