I am looking for a drawing or detail Or picture how to route the fuel lines. I have searched the web but no luck. I have an idea about the supply line but not sure about the return line?
Thanks |

There is another reason to keep the return line. The reserve fuel system depends on it. In the pic below, you can see that the supply line drains from a bowl in the bottom of the tank and the return dumps fuel back in it. This allows the system to constantly scavenge fuel from the tank and concentrate it in that bowl so you can use all of the fuel before sucking air. I've read of people complaining that their car was running out of gas with the gauge showing 1/8 or more of a tank after switching to carbs. I'm guess this is why.
