Fuel line connectors

[Mark Eidson]

That is exactly what I did.  It works just fine.  In fact I found a fuel
line from the same car at a junk yard and installed it in parallel with the
original for the return.  I added a return to the fuel sending unit wtih an
old part from another sending unit by drilling a hole and sealing it with JB
Weld.  me
