Agree. Keep the return line. It also recirculates the fuel. Keeps it cooler.

Well finally got the Holley sniper efi system installed. New 87 tank, 87 sending unit, walbro in tank pump. Now the problem... my fuel pump wont shut off even when keys off.. grey to power. Purple to sender. Black to ground.. any thoughts?
Maybe a bad relay? oh yeah and it wont start just cranks..

The relay is definitely supposed to prevent that from happening. I’ve never known them to fail with the circuit closed, just open. I have read that can happen, though.
