Is there a return line on your frame next to the feed line? The feed line is 3/8 and the return line is 1/4. If your car has both lines on the frame you have a choice. Either back to the auto parts store and get another pump ( one with a return) or plug the return line on your frame.
GM put the return line on to help with hot fuel issues. vapor lock

Fuel Pump
Autozone, Advanced Auto, PEP Boys, NAPA or any of our supporting vendors.
The correct pump is about $35.00. Two tubes, on supply, one return and a threaded port for tubing fittings to the Carb.

Alright, I have an autozone one on now and it still wouldnt start correctly so I went to local chevy dealer and they said that they had a 70's Camaro and put an autozone pump on and had the same problem, they said get one from them or summit racing.

I put a cheapy on my car just to see. Lars had said if you remove the clip from the needle it might stop the fuel from draining -- it did.

How much fuel pressure will the stock AC fuel pump provide? I just got my healthy 383 back from the machine shop. I hate seeing the return line sitting there with a plug and I'd like to put it back in the system.
