Hot fuel system questions

Okay i have an 85 F250 with a 460 and the hot fuel system on it....bypassed the tank selector valve and ran fuel line from the rear tank to the fuel lines on the in the engine bay.. My question is how much fuel should be in the return line of the rear tank....At idle there is hardly any flow if any......




I trying to fix this specific problem........

1. Front tank starves the carb for gas
2. Rear tank floods carb

*Carb is brand new truck avenger, rear pump is brand new (external) pump

The new pump is probably putting out more pressure than the stock bleed-off is designed to handle, so it floods out.

Sure you didn't get a EFI pump by mistake?
