Default 383 TPI Fuel Line Issues
Hello,
Installing fresh 383 with miniram into 80 L82.
Already installed 82 carrier with lt1 pump in tank.
I plan on replacing the return line with 5/16 but am hoping to get the engine broke in with the 1/4 return. Anyone think this is doable ?

Thanks

Why not wait until you have the proper return line installed

I have used the stock feed and return lines on my '72 with TPI injection, for over 16 years now, not an issue....
