Fuel return line pics

This is the set-up on my 7.3 fuel return line. I would like to know where that front 1 is suppose to go to. I am posting links to the pics cause I am not a supporter,yet. Looks like I will have to donate to the cause just because I have had some great help from all of you. Also, I am not sure what the last pic is, something on the timing cover, but not sure what. Any ideas?

You don`t have to be a supporter to post pics.
The thing next to the oil filler cap is the engine speed sensor, also refered to as the tach sensor.
Hopefully someone will be along to help with the return lines.

that front one shouldnt be there, it is the wrong cap but nonetheless, its fine as long as its blocked off. That one should have a 90 offset pointing to the ip or none at all. It wont hurt anything. Yeah, that sensor wire on the IP housing is in need of some help! haha. Shouldnt be hard to find at a wrecking yard though. Where are the glowplug connectors?

nevermind i see them ziptied to the injection lines.

To post pics, add to your gallery, and once they're added there's a link to give you some code to past into your post that shows that picture in its place.

Is that red wire from the GP realy going to the cab to make a manual switch? If so remove it... the manual switch should ground out the post that the controller's white wire is on to force the plugs to glow.

I'll get you a schematic scan in a few hours.

No northern, that is a wire I had to run, because when the IS was switched to the start position, there was no power to the GP controller, or any of the IP solenoids. I removed all manual switches he put in,( hate crappy work like that). The PO has hacked the whole under dash area, so I had to fish around to find a wire that was hot on the start position. I couldn't run anything of the starter solenoid wire obviously because when switched to the run position, that would also engage the starter.

Also, could someone tell or show a pic of the fuse block layout. There is no cover and I am not sure what fuses go where. I had power to the GP controller off the ignition side, but now nothing.
