The picture of item 56 shows two external ports. I assume that one is for return and the other one for supply.
Thanks for the reply. If your rig doens't have item 40, then where does that line lead to off of your vapor return manifold? Is the line just stubbed back into the tank with no check valve? And please excuse my ignorance, but what does a check valve do anyways? I plan on going with a TBI on my SBC so I will need to utilize both the main suction line and the return line. My main concern revovles around the vapor return system, and it's function.

Thanks again guys.
Chris
