Hi all,
I want to fit an injected engine sooner or later, therefore I will need an electric pump and return system.
What would be the best way of doing this? I am aware my car shouldn't have the swirl pot in the fuel tank as this was exclusive to injected cars from the factory, and this could cause issues later with fuel starvation if not replaced with a fuel tank that would support this.
The car currently has a mechanical pump running off the cam and no fuel return line/fuel rail due to its carbed nature.
Many thanks,
Ollie

The wiring in the looms is usually present, right up to the plug under the RH side of the rear seat cushion. Look for a green/purple wire coming into the plug, but not continuing on the the small loom that goes under the rear of the car.
Fuel return pipe can be made up from 8mm cunifer (cupro-nickel) pipe.
