That's an aftermarket pump similar to the pump used in '75-76. It does not have a return port like the '70-74 OE pump pictured.
So what in the world do I do with the return line? I am guessing that the stock pump is bad and hoping it's not. Im thinking I should just use the stock pump instead, that is if it even works.
By the looks of your "stock" pump, your car is injected. The best thing to do if the stock pump is good is mount it in the front trunk. This will prevent any vapor locking that is possible where the factory mounted it near the engine. It will never vapor lock in the front. since the tank and fuel pump will be close, it's easy to use a short return line from the pump to the tank. Find the fuel pump fuse and tap into the fused side and run a wire to the pump in the front. Mount the pump with rubber insulators to take up vibration. It is easiest done with a near empty tank and on a lift. Remove the cover under the steering rack and there is an access hole. There is room to mount the pump under the tank. Raise the tank up some to give yourself more room to work. Consider mounting the filter in the engine compartment so it's easy to get to. If the PO didn't have a return like in use, run the return line from the pump to the tank.
