So is this right ?

don't know, but i would not have the fuel line running for a foot or two in front of engine,
where it gets heated by the air from the radiator. I have mine coming from the side. Or,
you could insulate the line.

the fuel line would do a U from the fuel pump & come up near the heater hoses around the dist & into the carb , the vapor separator was only used on 3/8 line cars with the extra return line but the filter I believe was positioned in the same area , of course the line would be different depending if the 383 was equipped with a Holley carb / front connection or an AVS / right rear connection .
