Im not completely understanding why you would go to all the trouble to run a return line for low pressure carb setup. Is it because you are looking to use the factory EFI in tank pump? Knock a hole in the lower part of the fuel tank, install a bung for the fuel line and get a low pressure carb fuel pump . Dead head it to the carb and run like the wind ,bullseye !

Had I known this issue was coming, I probably would have used an aftermarket fuel pump. At this stage in the game, I will just run a separate return line and rock on. If the stock fuel pump fails, I may go with a different pump. The people that have went carb'd and gave me advice ran a separate return line. They were happy and running well so it is the path I chose.

Interesting. Definitely something to look into. Is the method for mounting the in tank pump pretty standard accross GM platforms so that swapping to another GM pump wouldn't be to difficult?

Id have to do more research, but I think they are close. They are listed as 12-15 psi. I cant find anyone thats done it. Deadheading is usually frowned on, but Ive seen plenty do it. Especially on a track car.
Im getting a baffled 4cylinder tank and sending unit for my s10 blazer, gonna use a tbi pump on it. It has a return though. Maybe you could find a sender with a spot for a return on it that would work
Holley blue pumps are 14psi, I dead headed one for a couple years on a cruiser. Just depends I guess. Ill keep digging on info
