Unanswered: Fuel Pump and Lines from Fuel Tank

I have a 73 GT and was told the fuel pump is different from other years, is that correct? I already have a fuel pump installed and I am trying to figure out where the three lines from the fuel tank connect to. I do know the one that goes to the fuel pump. The other two lines are not connected anywhere at the present time. Also where does the other outlet from the fuel pump go? (Just want to make sure)

This is why I am not a mechanic and need help!!! I have looked through many threads and searches.

Dave

Here's a start from the OANA website. I found it doing a search on this site. Some times just a little perseverance works.

Check these images, they are from the 73 FSM. I don't have a GT to verify, but they might be helpful...

No difference in fuel pump, only filter is differentand tank has extra connector on it for return line. Picture 2 is exactly correct, you want to mount filter so vapor return line nipple (small one) is at the highest point . . . manual even says so.
