72 ls5 fuel pump return hose

[Michael C.]

Hi all, Can someone post a picture of the return hose routing off the fuel pump to the hard line on the frame rail. The fitting on the fuel pump aims towards front of the car. 72 Ls5. Assembly manual does not show the rubber hose routing. Thanks Mike

I can't post a picture but I can tell you that this application used a MOLDED "S" hose. You can get one from Dr. Rebuild.

The "s" hose is the 3/8" inlet hose. I am referring to the smaller return hose that comes off the front of the pump and connects the steel line on the frame rail. Thanks, Mike

Won't get to it tonight but I can get you a pic from mine if you want. Can't guarantee it's NCRS correct though : )

Still looking for a picture of how the rubber return hose is routed off the fuel pump to steel line on frame. 1972 ls5. Assembly manual shows for small block. Big block nipple is facing forward

On my '70 LS5, I routed it with the largest radius bends possible while not touching anything. Naive maybe, but I didn't research it very much.
