ok how come everyone is avoiding the most obvious soluton?All you have to do is park your car and go buy a 69.it already has the return line,problem soved.i have never had a vapor lock problem in my 69 and it uses the t at the fuel pump.i think switching over to this design would be the easiest,all you need is the T then buy some steel line and run it back
