What year 3.8? Up to a certain year, 3.8 cars did not have a return line. You'd have to run your own return line, and install a hanger in the tank that has the middle tube to attach your return line to.

It is a 84 regal

Looks like a 3-line pump first appeared for the '85 3.8L (USA only, not Canada). So your '84 would lack the needed return line, and you'd have to add one somehow, along with a 3-line tank hanger (fuel gauge sender). I'm in the same boat with my '83. The tank I've dealt with. the line not yet.

An alternative might be to install a 2-line pump (if you can find one that fits your motor) and skip the return line. I believe the main purpose of the return line is to prevent vapor lock, but I've never had vapor lock and we get triple-digit summers here.
