Fuel pump with return port
My Gen I 350's fuel pump has a slight oil leak. Since I have to replace the gaskets, I might as well replace the 20-year old pump. My current pump has just the two ports -- input and output. But if I buy one with a return port, like the one below, can I simply connect that to my 71-72 sending unit with an extra hose barb.
I've read that a return line can keep the fuel cooler by recirculating excess fuel back into the tank, instead of dead-heading at the carb. Is that correct? Also, how do I reduce the size of the linked photo?
