    thanks Skeet, but no truck, is for a 69 Camaro, so I have to do the whole fuel system.

    But never heard of that dead headed Bosch.....So I was looking for the fuel system, but don't know what will I need to connect the FPR to those rails, cause I do't even know what they look like !!!!!

    If returnless probably I can use one of those Corvette Filters....but definitely I hope they are not returnless !!!!

    Thanks again for the help !

    I'm sure it uses the same connector as the truck rails, the location is just different. You can get an adapter to AN.
    That is a returnless rail, dead head just sounds like a nickname. Use the vette filter or get an aftermarket rail and FPR.

    This is almost the same problem Im running into. I have a deadhead system in my truck but Im trying to convert to return style. The deadhead system has the FPR in the tank with the pump. The bypass is run directly off the pump and variable voltage is used to control the PSI of the pump to the injectors. Currently my pump key on spits 50PSI, running it shoots up to 60PSI. During WOT, I get a 2PSI drop for a second, then it raises back up to 60. This site will help you see more of what Im talking about. Im taking pics of my intake when I get off work today and posting them on the thread I started yesterday to see if anyone has any options or suggestions to throw at me. I know this thread is a little old but just in case someone runs into the same issue, this might help a bit.

    I didn't think they did the variable voltage system until the GMT900 trucks, but I'm not sure about that. In any case there is a way to change the pump out to a fixed output pump. I have seen posts on this site before, but I can't remember who the poster was. Try to search around some more, it was someone who put in a 6.0 or 6.2 into a GMT900 truck.
