I am still piecing together my fuel delivery system with braided lines and have a question. I am building a streetable but mean 350ci motor.

Is it deterimental to change fuel lines sizes by a little bit as you travel from the gas tank to the carb? An-6 to An-8 and such?

No it should be fine as long as your pump,pumps or regulator will keep the fuel bowls full it will be fine,i would steer clear of to big of line i have heard many horror story's of large fuel line all ending in fuel saturated floors or fire!.My vega has 6an braided line i will have some pics up some day,i also run 2 pumps,an electric in tank and the manuel block pump works great for me!

On mine (alum. tank in rear) i run -8 from the tank to filter,pump, to reg., and then2 -6 lines to the carb.When i put the dual 4s on then i will make up longer -6 lines to fit the carbs.

What are you talking -6 -8 and such. I just redid mine and run 1/2 inch aluminum line all the way from the tank to the y block and 3/8 braided to the carb.
