How does my contraption look??

Why is glass bad? I just like to be able to see if there is fuel there if the car isn't starting or something?

Man, you guys have the most interesting ideas! I have seen pictures with set up simular to mine, so I "assumed" it was proper?!?

I almost hate to ask... but how and why would you run a return line?

Glass can and will breakin an accident. fuel will spill. fire will start. that would suck. This is why plastic and glass filters are not allowed on NHRA sanctioned tracks. whether you're ever gonna race or not, a metal fuel filter is best. Who said anything about a return line? Since you brought it up, it's an excellent idea. You can almost acheive the kind of driveability and good starting as fuel injection with a well thought out fuel system including a return line. The return line assures a constant supply of cool fuel to the carburetor without the fear of fuel "heat soak". this is when the fuel boils. It's a pretty common problem especially during the summer. Running a return also greatly reduces stress on the fuel pump. holleys are very easy to convert. Dominator fuel bowls are tapped on both the passenger and driver's sides allowing fittngs to be put in the drivers side of the bowls for a return line. Simply come off the carb and into a "T" fitting. Then, you'll need to add a restrictor in the line. A large Holley jet works really good. Takes a little fab work, but nothing a chimp couldn't do. If you can braze with a torch,drill and tap you can do it in under an hour. Just run the return line right along side the supply line. you'll need to drill the sending unit and add a nipple for the return line. I said nipple. heh heh heh huh huh huh.
