Mechanical Pump with Return Line- input/pictures/etc.

This is what I did last summer. I've been fighting issues since installing the Edelbrock heads 3 years ago. I took two barbed fittings, one male and one female. I filled the male fitting with silver solder and then drilled a .040" hole in the solder and screwed the two halves together. I then attached everything in the photos to a 1/4" return line that runs back to the tank. I haven't had any issues since. I am going to eliminate the fuel pressure regulator because I don't need it any longer. The car holds a consistent 7lbs with the Carter mechanical strip pump. I am also going to bend up another hard line from my fittings to the return line running back to the firewall so I can get to the valve cover if needed.
