Is my return line blocked ?

    When I take a blow gun and blow air into the return line from the pump it seems plugged. Shouldn't air blow through it restriction free ?
    This is on a 73 gs stage 1 with a stock fuel system.

    No chance that during a gas tank swap or something the return and tank vent (to the carbon canister) lines got crossed? The tank vent uses something like a 5/16th hose but in the fitting on the tank it has a restrictor down to a pin sized hole.

    I don't think so, but I could pull the tank down and check. So it should flow freely then ?

    I would think so, but not 100% sure as I've never actually checked. I just know the evap one because it looks like an easy line to use for an EFI return line, but there is a restriction in the tank fitter there.

    disconnect return line at the tank, then try to blow air thru return line. There should be no restriction in return lines.
