Today's fuel formulations are prone to vapor lock at carburetor fuel pressures. A fuel return system on these old vehicles is a good step toward preventing vapor lock..
Don’t have it on any other old car I have they only get non ethanol gas and never have had vapor lock . This is on my 72 it has no vapor canister or pollution controls other than PCV .
