    I m wondering what i need to do about my return fuel line. I have a 350 Olds motor in my 49 F1. Im running the stock fuel tank. The fuel pump has the line from the tank to the pump, pump to carb, and then one other (i ***ume a return). Can i block it off, or do i need a diff pump?

    Thanks.

    If you're running a mechanical fuel pump you don't need a return line.

    Cap it off, should be no prob, when it needs changed get one with only an inlet and outlet.

    wouldn't hurt to check pressure to the carb if you cap it off....
