Yes,it sure looks original.I find very interesting why some cars had a return line and some didn't.All the Novas i have looked at over the years had a return line with hyd.lifters.Maybe it was a west coast thing?? It would be nice if somebody had the answer.

I believe the return line was a Q-Jet issue and not necessarily a mush lifter cam issue but..........

Two fuel lines....interesting.

I have never bought a solid lifter car with a return line. I did not think they existed.

I would guess it was a factory mistake on the tach unless someone replaced the original.
