[Dave Keillor]

I wish I could say that I'd never had vapor lock on my '69 140.

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

curt.
