Fuel Return Lines

I'm putting a 350 w/ carb into my 82 Z28. My question is, what do I do with the fuel return lines. I plan on using a Holley blue elec. fuel pump w/reg. There are 4 lines that come from the fuel sending unit. One supply line, one that goes to the small plastic vent by the tank and 2 others. Is there a safe way to bypass the return lines, should I just plug them up? Any help is appreciated.

they can be left open.. but its an evaporation point

I used the return line for a second delivery line but it did not help much.. just aireated the fuel. I will be plugging it probably.

One of those 2 is the return line; the other is the vent, goes to the canister.

If your pump has a return, hook it to the return; otherwise plug it.

You need some kind of a vent. Either use the canister; or take one of those little bronze fuel filters, and stick it on the end of the rubber hose that would go to the canister.
