so it does come out when the engine is pulled? and does that mean the engine is fed from back to front or front to back?

It's attached to the fuel rail. So it should come out with the engine.

As for how the engine is "fed," you're going to have to refine that question.

That confused me.

If you mean turning a KA into a carbureted one, then you don't need to tee. The line from the pump would just go to the carburetor. Be sure to replace the fuel pump with a low pressure pump.

If you mean putting a KA into a carbureted car, similar deal. Fuel line to fuel rail. Replace pump with high pressure unit.

However, if you are fitting a fuel injected KA inside a carbureted one, I would like to see this.

Fuel return, whats that?
Using a carbureted motor you need a lower pressure, high volume pump. Carb pressure runs 0-12psI Typically 5-8psi. You need a vent, and a feed and thats all.

An aftermarket fuel rail with an off rail regulator will do the trick
