Holley Commander 950 fuel injection with stock fuel lines

[84_I_SOAR]

I will make a long story short, or at least try to..
I got a great deal on  a rebuilt 258 with a Holley Commander 950 fuel injection setup and have taken to doing the engine swap with a good friend who is more knowledgeable than I. Unfortunately, at times, he gets an idea and seems to just run with it at the expense of extra and unnecessary work.

The 950 requires an inline fuel pump and a return line to the tank with as close to 0 psi as possible.
- Do Eagles have a return line from the factory and vapor line?
- If the line is still in good shape is there any reason I would not be able to use it with the Commander 950?

According to the friend and another armchair mechanic, I do not have a return line to the tank in my Eagle. I only have a vapor line and from the quick searching I did on the nest this seems to be incorrect.

I am posting this in hopes of getting some confirmation from a few people so we can stop arguing about the return line and get back to dropping in the new engine.

I've not been out in the Eagle this year and I am starting to get the itch, the avian itch.

So use the vapor line as a return line if it goes all the way back.  I did this with a GMC pickup I did a fuel injection swap on.  Easy and the line is already there.

6 cylinder Eagles came with return fuel lines, as well as vent lines. No reason to use the vent line when you could use the original return line.

make sure to check the condition of the lines, the fuel delivery line runs on the passenger side of the car and the return runs along the drivers side

I'm just going to chime in and highlight this. Figure out what's going where and what condition the lines are in before hooking them up. You don't need a huge mess or fire.

Think the vent line connects to charcoal cannister and return line connects to carb, IIRC.
