Stock Fuel Pump

I'm just trying to get my newly acquired 1974 318 Duster running and driving. I'm having fuel delivery problems. I don't know what previous owners may have done to this car, but I notice what looks like a disconnected second fuel line sticking up near the frame just behind the stock fuel pump. Did the 74 come with a double line system and somebody put an earlier pump on it? Since I don't care about all the old smog junk, is a second line needed? I might just cut the fuel feed line back by the tank and stick an electric pump in there. DickJ\

Yep the same DickJ that has been having problems getting the motor to come off idle without stalling. No spurts from the accelorator pump. With a little help from a can of starting fluid, I can get it to take throttle, but it gets real flat the higher the RPM go.
