Which Fuel System to use

I am finishing up work on my chassis to get ready to mount the body... (pictures later...) Basically it is a 1970 Supreme frame and body shell, with a 1971 455. I only have the main fuel supply line from the tank to the fuel pump and have not yet bought the fuel pump or tank.

Should I buy the return and emissions lines, or just stick to the emissions line? What is the advantage to doing it either way other than not having to buy the return line?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Bill

The advantage of fuel return is that hot underhood fuel gets routed back to the tank to cool. This helps with percolation, particularly with today's ethanol-mix gasoline.
