personally i'd just ditch the stock pump crap all together and go buy a cheap *** 30-40 dollar electric pump and hook it up to the tanks pick up tube. no return lines, less hassle. put one on an old bronco i had that kept killing mechanical pumps and it worked great.
worst comes to worst with my option, you might have to buy a non efi pick up tube for the tank if it has in tank pumps.

With ur senario Dan, I have to pull the tanks to get the in tank pumps out, so I might as well just pull the tanks, and find the restriction and run what I have already.

Got it figured out! 
Inside the tank, inside the housing for the fuel pump, is a check valve. I drilled a hole in it.
Only deal now is that the rear tank returns into the front. But I'll just run the front tank for now tell I get time to set up valves to return the fuel to the proper place so I can run both. I'll post pics tomorrow

Welll, ya, anyways........
Before
The "garbage"
Ready for the new stuff
Now that's what I like to see
A lot less wires now just necessary stuff like the A/C pump, power for distributor/choke, and the tach wire.
All done under the hood!!
Now for the intank mod so the fuel pressure stays steady... This works best for single tank applications. I'll let you know how it works on dual setups. But as of now I only did this to the front tank, so the rear return is going to fill the front tank.
That is a spring loaded valve. Holds about 20 psi before it open, not good for carb applications.
So I drilled a hole in it!
In order to get to that point you have to pull the "can" apart that holds the fuel pump.
I plan to do this to the rear tank too, but will add fuel shut off valves to the return line at both tanks just to be 100% sure the fuel returns to the proper tank. I have one valve already from a old project, I'll pickup another later.

vac secondaries?
I know as much about Carbs as Dan knows about the wiring schematics on a challenger shuttle...
So could you possibly adjust the vac needed to open up the secondaries?
