All aboard the neg train!

Got the new wiring and connector on the fuel pump from the new hot wire kit, got the pump back in the tank with a nice new seal, got the brandy new fuel tank straps in! All ready to get the tank in and the car back on the ground.

Nah.

I was met by 2 surprises.

1. It looks like the fuel line Ts off after the fuel filter and runs back to the tank area. Which port do I hook this to on the pump hat? Vent or return? This is odd to me Bc I assumed the "return" line would just be the hard line that runs up to the bay next to the supply line. And the "vent" line, I anticipated it to be ford style and be a plastic line that ran all the way back from the bay.

2. The previous owner was nice enough to remove the above mention lined like a human with a quick disco tool, so the quick connect is intact and perfect. HOWEVER, the supply line(pump to filter) is CUT. Does anyone have one laying around? Would it be wrong to do a braided line just from the tank to the fuel filter?
