Why isn’t fuel going to the carb?

Some stuff:

Where did you get the idea for that filter? I bet it was not like that earlier

As Redfish eluded to THESE CARS DO NOT HAVE A RETURN as built. There are originally TWO tubes from front to rear of the car

One is the fuel supply to the inlet of the pump and is normally 5/16"

The other (as far as I know) is a 1/4" tube and IS THE VENT FOR THE TANK. It originally hooked into the "carbon canister" system, otherwise known as "evaporative emissions control."

DO YOU HAVE a factory service manual? If not, download one for free from MyMopar. No I don't work there. Some of them there came from the guys on here
The car had a return line already when I started working on it, so that’s why I got that filter.
