Fuel return hardline position (1 Viewer)

[cims1970fj40]

I’m currently working on 75 carb I recently picked up and installing the return line and wanted to know where the opposite end of the line rests where it mates to the soft line. Mine currently is right up against the battery and would like pictures so I know where I need to bend it if needed. Thanks in advance

Thanks Tanker! It helps where it comes out from the carb to the front of the valve cover. If you don’t mind can you take a couple of pictures of it by the passenger side of the block please? Thanks

Mine end right around the fuel pump but it's not the stock routing due to the addition of an aux tank and switching valve and some other modifications. I think the stock return line ran under the coolant hose, under the supply fuel line, along the block, then exits somewhere in between the oil filter and fuel pump. That's going by memory from a few years ago so I might be mistaken.

Thanks for replying and for the photos. I had a local member send a picture that he had stored last night. I’m going to post them soon.

Here are a few pics in case they might help. On my '77 there is a bracket that keeps the return pretty close to the oil filter (same as shown in post #6 above)

Thanks for the photos. I’m going to order that bracket through SOR or put a wanted ad on here. The bracket I currently have behind the thermostat changes throughout the years based on SOR catalog but not sure the difference on the years. However my fuel lines wouldn’t fit into the bracket I have currently.
