I can't answer the other questions but if you can make it work, then put it on the top. To awkward to fill on the back.

Bear in mind that you only need to fit the restrictor if you have an engine newer than 1st August 1995.

If the engine is older than this, then there is no SVA requirement for a restrictor to be fitted.

If you're using a Pinto, is it converted for unleaded ?

Does it have a cat ?

My understanding is if you don't have a cat and you're using LRP or additives you don't need the restrictor

as far as i know the head has is an unleaded head, i have have no cat.

I'd go with Hellfire's rule - before 1/8/95 you don't need a restrictor

My filler is on the rear panel, cars uses fuel faster than it fills!Put it on top
