Oldschool mitsy guys, help me out with a fuel pump query?

G'day. Im transferring a 1600 4g32 and 5 speed from an EX Lancer into an LA Lancer that originally had a 1200 4g36 with 4 speed. Everything has gone fine so far, easy as pie, cept that the EX runs a return line from the fuel pump back to the tank, whereas the LA does not. If i steal the pump from the original 4g36 that does not run a return line, is a likely to flood the carb on the 4g32 i've put in place? Or alternatively, can i just block off the return line from the pump that is on the 4g32 already? Worst comes to worst i suppose i can just swap the intake manifolds over, but id really prefer not to... Coz im lazy ;).

Cheers all.

Either is fine - often aftermarket pumps come with a bung to block off the return line of the pump when the car doesn't have a return. As long as the needle valve in the carb shuts off the flow of fuel coming in when the bowl is full it will be fine.
