I am looking to carry an extra fuel pump. I see the one suggested does not have a return line, and there's another that does.

In the parts lookup online (not right by any means) it says the one with the return line is right for my "Olds Toronado" engine. Of course I wouldn't buy that one because of the online thing; but it did make me look up what the heck the return line does, and from what I can tell its supposed to help minimize gas boiling away (vapor lock?). Is that an issue I hear people have with these engines? Can someone explain how the return line works, how it would minimize gas boiling, and then tell me why we get the pump without a return line?

I'm trying to learn/understand how stuff works; so pretend I know nothing and you're close Smile

thanks, i hope I'm not hijacking this thread.

PS i found 2 more carb filters in boxes from my PO, now I have 3 and 10 nylon washers. All set for awhile!
