Question Fuel Line
Is it common in the RX7's to get a blocked fuel line coz of the size of them?

Dont think its because of the size, more of the age (by now) and running over stuff that crimps them. Got probs? I know the returns get clogged (from age) somewhat frequent.

Just bought 4 metres of 10mm (3/8) fuel hose to run from my holley fuel pump to the carb. No more 20 y.o metal fuel lines. Anyone else run a setup like this?

I am running steel braided lines from the carter fuel pump to the front into the fuel presure regulator and eliminated the return line.
