Default 69 Camaro fuel line question

Did any small block 69 Camaros ever have a return line from the factory?While over at a friends house today i was looking at a car that he had shipped here from Calif about 2 years ago.Front end is off now and i realized it had the 2 lines but the small block heat box?Could this be anything special or maybe i just forgot what little i knew about fuel lines on 69 Camaros!

Any 69 Q-jet cars had a return line I believe.

As Sam said. Any Q-jet equipped 69 Camaro whether BB or SB had a return line.

Good clue to look for.

Look at an original fuel filter used for a Q-jet. The ones that go near the water pump. Call it a vapor return line or vent return line.

It's either an LM1 or an SS350. What is the date on the trim tag? Early cars could be the LM1 350 or SS350.

No, the LM1 was just the optional 350 with a 4bbl qjet carb that was available early in the model year. It was replaced later on by the 350 2bbl engine so any car with dual fuel lines later on would be an SS car. I bet the car is an earlier one and is probably an LM1 car. I forget the exact date cutoff that the LM1 was discontinued, CRG should have that information.
