As long as you have the resistor somewhere between the power source and the positive terminal on the gauge, the proximity doesn't matter.

edit: Some resistors require a connection to ground, so that will limit installation options.

the voltage regulator should be hooked to the input side of the voltage stablizer,

These guys are right. Just put it in between the power source and the guage. Good luck.
