I'm starting a new thread on this because some recent discussion on this topic was done as part of another thread relating to LT-1 fuel lines.
There is no information in the 1971 AIM relative to the above referenced topic components. The information that I've been able to glean from SERVICE parts info (which, by the way, originates from PRODUCTION information) is a bit vague. In any event, it would seem that 1971 LS-6 was originally equipped with an AC type 40770 fuel pump. This pump has provisions for fuel return. It would then follow that the LS-6 equipped Corvettes were also equipped with a fuel return line co-located with the fuel supply line and a fuel tank with provisions for a fuel return line on the upper right side of the tank.
As I mentioned previously in the other thread, if the above is actually how it was, then the 1971 Corvette LS-6 would be the only Corvette with Holley carburetor ever equipped with a right side fuel return line. Actually, it's my belief that this is how it was.
Does anyone have any information from a KNOWN ORIGINAL 1971 LS-6 that would confirm it was equipped with an AC type 40770 fuel pump and a right side fuel return line? I'm not talking about a car that was originally a non-LS-6 but was converted to LS-6. I'm talking about a KNOWN ORIGINAL LS-6.
