Default Help, fuel return 69 3x2

Hi All, I think I've been Bubba'd. Does anyone know how fuel return is handled on a 69 427 3x2 set up?

Dosen't have one just like all the L-88, LS-6, and LT-1 Vettes. One of the many methods I use to spot a FAKE hi-po Vette. If it had a Holley from the factory it didn't have a return line, sounds like your Tri-power is legitimate car in my book.

Thanks LT, I'm starting to figure it out, for some reason Bubba split the fuel line after the pump by cutting the line and adding a fuel filter to the line with 2 outputs. he then fed the 3 holleys normally on the left side and added a second fed to the primary center carb. I've ordered the lines, replaced the filters in the carbs which were nasty and also replaced the sock on the fuel sender as it was black and ripped open. I'm sure my top end will have alot more punch now.
