PROJECT: How would a Chevrolet dealer build a shop truck in the early 1970s?

[67_C-30]

This is just an observation here, but if the carb is modern and the engine has HEI, why sweat the all factory fuel line thing so much. A zinc plated carb with glass float sights isn't ever going to look like an original LT-1 carb, so I'd just go with the best way to get it going. I'd buy a '67 Z28 302 fuel pump and let it ride. They have no return line, will perform as well as the stock LT-1 pump. I've been using these on street/strip engines for years, and and used them on hotter engines than the factory LT-1 ever was.

Just my humble opinion on it!
