Changing my 32 ADFA out for a 32/36 DFEV

Post by Lezumba »

Hi Guys
I have a 1978 spider
I am planning on changing my 32 ADFA out for a 32/36 DFEV soon, but
have a question: The DFEV does not have a fuel return so, is safe connecting the fuel return to the vapor line? My idea is to make a continuous loop.
By the way, I'm sorry about my English, I'm Cuban.

I installed a 32/36 DFEV in my 1975 to replace the stock ADFA carb. While not needed several forum members suggested that I have a fuel return line. To do this I simply bought a metal fuel filter that had a return line. Many Crysler cars use this type of filter. I got mine from a local auto parts store. Cost about $5.00. In the picture the silver fuel filter is seen in the lower left.

As you can see I also have a Moeller inline fuel filter -- this one is between the metal filter with the return line and the carburetor. Hope this helps.
