Default Re: Carburetor/ Fuel Pump Information

More than a few years back, I tried a Mr. Gasket fuel regulator on my Chevy...didn't take long and it was leaking like a sieve. Bought a new Holley, and it didn't last much longer. Went back to none with just a fuel filter. The pump on my engine is probably over 30 years old as I don't remember ever having changed it since I built the car in the early 90's. Until last week, it had an Edelbrock 1406, and I've heard that the Ed's need low pressure.

Now, I've upgraded to an Ed 1906 and it's very responsive, but still no fuel reg on it. I really don't want to have to pull the tank and have another nipple put in for a return line, although there is a vent right below the fill cap. Am I dreaming that years ago, someone put a T before the fuel pump and another before the carb and just connected the two, kind of circulating the fuel? I look at the regs online and would just hate to spend more money and have the new one crap out also.
