These were installed on the last of the AMC carbureted model. The filters have one inlet port and two outlet ports, one obviously goes to the carb, the other port returns the fuel to tank. This requires installing a return line to the fuel tank.
The concept is, there always fuel movement.
This has worked great for me.

Autoplicity shipped the tank the next day as promised. Between having the lowest price and good service, I'd use them again. The Spectra tank appears to be well made. My only reservation is that the tank was poorly packaged by Spectra and the filler neck vent pipe was sticking out through the side of the cardboard when delivered. No damage to the tank, but Spectra should add extra packaging to prevent the tank from sliding around in the box during handling. Even though I have a tank cleaning/coating kit that I purchased months ago, that really is a warm weather project not really suited for November in Colorado. I'm glad that you guys turned me on to this new tank. Thanks again!
