Fuel return line?
I have a new pump with no provision for a return line. Do I need it? How do I put one in with the braided line that I am using?
Thanks in advance...

I used a Holley #803 fuel regulator. It's ported like a T-fitting. The bottom port is the inlet and there are two outlet ports. One goes to my carb, the other to the return line.

Re: Fuel return line? (GROSSPOLLUTER60)
I saw a pic of a holley fuel pump that a forum member tapped a return line in the side of it. Was pretty slick. I can't remember the members name and it was a couple years ago. Don't remember which pump or how they determined the tap point.
How does the stock fuel pump return system work? How do you keep your set up from taking fuel from the carb side under heavy acceleration? Seems the return line would take fuel away if not set up to just be open above say 7-9 psi.
