Thinking I would like to pick up a Powerjection 3 fuel injection system sometime soon. Would probably go with the standard return style fuel system instead of their Fuel on Demand return-less fuel system.

The one thing I am not sure about, though, is how to connect the return fuel line back to the tank. I have seen where people have modified the fuel pick-up area to add another connection for the return line. I have also heard that you can connect the return line to the drain plug of the tank.

Is there a drop-in tank available that already has a fitting for a return line? Do I need one with a sump to keep the system self-priming?

Another option is to Moroso EFI fuel return that clamps into your fuel filler line. I have seen it at Jeg's and Summit Racing.

Ron Morris sells them. It's simply installed in place of original tank sendind unit.

Definitely use the Ron Morris Piece. You can easilly find an external fuel pump, just pay careful attention to it's mounting location. Run new fuel lines with all parts, and connections that will take the higher fuel pressure. Cannibalize a newer car if you can.

This way you keep the stock look and stealth!

Thanks for the suggestions. That Ron Morris sending unit does look like it would be the way to go.

if you have a origianl stock tank, for what it cost for a new tank, I would replace it and have bung welded on for the return.I have a stock tank that I sumped and added 3 bungs on top for futuer use which i ended up using for the return.
