Good idea about return line. Only thing is that means I have to drop tank to hook up extra lines. Looks like a lot of undercoating around tank and straps. I looked inside with camera tank looks clean because of that I did not think I would need to drop and clean inside. No fuel inside since 1979. I did search about Bypass Regulators. Summit has one that has one inlet two outlets one return and one for gauge. What pressure electric pump would I need to push fuel back out the return line? Carbs only need about 5 to 6 lbs. Not sure exactly how extra pressure pump I need to use for returns. Also I saw post about Vent line so tank does not build up pressure. WOW a lot to think about. Thanks for input. Ramzilla

You dont need electric pumps unless running fuel injection imo. I am running a fuel cell in the trunk to a Fram canister filter mounted to rear frame then 1/2 aluminum hardline to a Robbmc 550 mechanical pump. It feeds both carbs without issues or regulators or return lines

On the Holley web page they have a rather lengthy Carbureted Fuel System Bypass Regulator write up...

Lots of great info here. For what it's worth, I knew that my Javelin would be sitting for long periods of time, so I installed an electric Carter pump near the tank so I would not have to crank the engine too long. The pump is wired to an "ignition on" source, so I simply turn the key to on for 15-20 seconds to allow fuel to fill the carb, pump the gas twice, and off we go! I also installed a Mallory pre-luber oil pump for the same reason. It also comes on with "key on" but has a self timer that shuts off after some number of seconds, and , yes, I can see the oil pressure come up on the gauge. So, for cold starts, I have both the oil system and the fuel system primed and ready to go. I don't believe Mallory makes this oil pump any longer, but there are some remote oil pumps on the market for turbo applications that might work.
