Also, the carb has nothin to do with the return line, you need a return style regulator. you could come off the regulator and feed one single line into the front of the carb you have and use the return from the regulator to send excess fuel back!

Yeah, I think we need some pictures of what your describing. Sounds like you have an edelbrock or old carter carb, but hard to tell. Take some pictures and explain what your trying to do, then maybe we can help.

IF you have a return regulator, get a pressure guage to run inline after the regulator, hook the return line up off the regulator.

It I have done it before, works out well. This is how it looked on the truck I removed it from before the gauge broke. As you can see, the gauge is in line to the carb.



What it looked like on the truck, no pictures of the gauge on it. It looks backwards, since it wasn't mounted it wouldn't stay flipped around the correct way.

Mine did as well. I just got some adapters to connect it directly to my fuel lines. That is why it looks a little different.
