The fuel pressure inlet on my carb faces the head where the return line fitting resides on later carbs. It does not appear that the carb can easily be modified to accept a return fitting. Perhaps changing the air horn. At this point, that seems like a solution looking for a problem.
While researching, found this quote in another thread from Mark's Off Road, "Pre-73 carbs had no return, and they all do just fine without one." That's good enough for me.
I'm going to drive it with the line plugged at the tank until I discover a reason to add a return line.
It's crazy the crap one uncovers around every corner. I wouldn't have found this problem until all the previous work was completed to get it on the road and find this.
My job continues: lift rocks and see what crawls out.
