on our 12a we only had 2 fuel lines. the larger of the 2 was the line to the carb and the smaller one was the return. what set up do you have. stock or what.

Left to right in your pic IIRC. Vent, Fuel return, Fuel supply and rear brake line.

Where does the vent run too??



see what im trying to do is hook up a fuel pressure regulator because on the V8 i only need 4-6 psi, what i need to do is put a 'T' fitting to connect the return and feed together so the fuel pump is happy...

The vent goes to your charcol canister and it vents the excess gas fumes out of you tank.

You're going to need more fuel. Use your larger fuel line as a return line and go one size even greater for your fuel supply (I forget the sizes). Leave the vent line hooked up to your charcoal canister so your tank doesn't over-pressurize in the summer heat.
