Default Pictures of Fuel Lines, Return Line, Mechanical Pump Set Ups

Hello,

I am running a Holley and have the original two fuel lines coming up to the motor, one is the feed, one is return.

Where should I run the return line off of? the fuel pump will have two fittings correct? one for the feed to the pump, then one going up to the carb...where should I tap off to connect back to the return.

Also any recommendations for a nice, stock looking, high or higher volume than stock mechanical pump?

I know you guys posted pics when I posted in my last thread about pumps, would like to see other detailed pics if you guys have them.

Thanks, Tim

I think for your year the return comes from the fuel filter, later years had the return from the bottom of the fuel pump.

I do think that is it, anyone have a line on a cheaper unit? I am trying to put this car together dirt cheap, don't need an actual AC brand. Maybe I can just get an autozone cheapie....paint it flat black or something.

I also would like to find a dual feed line set up similar to this Chevelle one, but close to what the Corvette would have in 1970 (though my car is 69)

I just dont want anything too flashy.....I know the factory lines are 5/16? but will need the lines to fit an aftermarket type 4777 Holley
