Hi. John and I installed this last Saturday in the 85 because the stocker was leaking oil and about to explode. It has no return line. Do I need to vent this? Also, the throttle response seems better. Is that my imagination or can a fuel pump do this? Also, will I need to adjust my AFR on the carb due to the swap? It seems like it drives better but did notice the fuel odor was a little stronger than usual but nothing leaking.

| If the old pump wasn't keeping up then you might notice a difference. Shouldn't need to change anything. |

The return line was a vapor lock thing IIRC. I would cap that line well as it is submerged and could theoretically siphon if there were pressure in the tank.
Do you have a normal functioning tank vent? |
