JFP, di you know how much pressure would the return line be handling?

It varies according to the amount of fuel being returned, but it could be as high as the full injector pressures, which is around 55 PSIG.

I'm not going to worry about the fuel line until after I get the cam chain rails* installed. I'm on the fourth day of a cold, so I haven't been out there much. I feel guilty about that. On the other hand, it has afforded me a chance to study videos about the procedure.

*That seems to be what many of the sellers have dubbed them.
