nope, that line goes to the remote fuel pressure sensor...
I have no return line because I have no place on the tank to hook it up...

BTW - are you running braided 1/2 inch line all the way to the back or are you using a metal fuel line somewhere on the way to the back?
That is -10AN braided from the regulator to the pump, mounted in the rear. One -8AN tap in the tank for the street/nitrous pump and one -12AN line to the drag race pump. Needless to say, we don't have any fuel starvation problems. The engine uses about 1 gallon of gas in a 10 second pass.

That's a setup!!
I use about a gallon per pass with my '68 too... but I only use the standard 3/8 fuel line.
However, I'm considering going with a 1/2 inch fuel line...
Once I get the scoop installed, I might mount the fuel pressure gauge on the back of the scoop so that I can see how my fuel pressure is doing when going down the track...
