If you're going to try to use the FI pump with carbs, you will most definitely need a return line into the tank, as the FI pump will produce a LOT more fuel than you'll need with carbs, and you cannot pump against a "dead head" with this pump. Excess fuel has to go somewhere, so you'll need to use the return. I'd advise against NOT trying to use the FI pump with carbs. I'd get a lower-volume pump and either put the FI pump on the shelf for the day you decide to hook up FI, or sell it. --- Mysterious J <mysteriousj@snet.net> wrote: > I just picked up a stock F.I. fuel pump for our > Fastback, and I have a > few questions about it: > > 1.
