Hello guys, long time since I been on here, mostly because my build took a back seat for quite a few months.
SO.......... I am getting things ready to fire up since my run time on the engine stand a year or more ago.
So to catch ya all up, I took a 327 impala, built a 409 and installed it....
So I did put a new tank in this and a new sending unit 3 port ( for a return line)
I was intending on using the glass fuel bowl, with my 4GC (single 340HP) carb, i abandoned that idea when I could not get the fuel bowl to stop leaking, no matter what I did, so its out of the picture now, so it is laid out like a 3/8 fuel line from sending unit to the fuel pump inlet, from the outlet a nice glass filter to the inlets, no leaks now.
The problem is without the fuel bowl, what to do with the return line? abandon it or use it? so then where to hook it up if I use it?
My sending unit has 3 ports, I am assuming the 3/8 is for fuel to inlet of the fuel pump, the other two I am not sure what to do with? any help would be great.
I am using a stock 4 barrel intake, single carb. When I mount the carb to the intake, is it best just to use the paper filter or should I use the hard composite and paper gasket?
Also I will be filling the radiator and engine with antifreeze tomorrow, any certain Antifreeze that works better with 409? Green/Brown Dex 2?
Its been a long trip to get here but here I am ready to fire this old girl, any help is most appreciated.
