O.K.If this was my car,i plug the second port on the pump,run the line to the back of the fuel rail.Then i'd run the line out the front of the fuel rail down to the reg mounted in place of the mech. fuel pump and back to the tank.
My car is plumbed a little different.The fuel pump is out back(duh),the inlet is up front.This comes as a result of a previous plumbing arrangement(mechanical pump in the loop),then i came to my senses and trashed the mechanical.The reg is mounted at the rear of the fuel log.The return line (4AN)then is metered with a Holley carb jet and runs back to the tank.
This does two things:
1) relieves the deadhead situation on the pump.Previously discussed.
2)It does deliver cooler fuel to the carb.I know the ambient temp of the gas tank isn't exactly arctic-like but it definately is cooler than the fuel log sitting above the engine.
I know out on the Island you don't experience heat like i do,but i tend to take fuel systems one better as i have a turbo car that there is no margin for error on.
