Does anyone have a picture of how they hooked up their three port fuel filter to the 32/36 carb? I have my return fuel line capped, and would like to take some of the pressure off my electric fuel pump.
Thanks,
Don

Sorry, no picture, but ...
The nipple on side is the return. The nipple on the end cap closest to this goes to the carb, the other is the supply.

the port on the side of the filter should connect to the return hose

Is this a big issue? I have had mine set up for almost two years now with the fuel return plugged... 
What do you recommend for a 3 way fuel filter?

no, we've been installing those carbs for years without using the return. One advantage to the return line is more circulation through the fuel pump alleviates vapor lock, but I haven't seen this as a problem with Spiders
