All good food for thought and review, thanks guys!
My panel truck is running on a early 670 cfm holly projection with a fuel return line, its set at the lower 13 psi pressure, 15 psi max they say, I will have to try the higher psi someday, the old projection manual says 18 psi for big block apps

The returning fuel does pull a large amount of heat out of the motor, my fuel tank becomes noticably warm after the engine has been running for a while.

my ford taurus vapor locked on the pass to yosemite last year, fuel tank went empty as it happened, and quite running, didn't overheat the radiator amazingly, it was in the triple digits that day, and the AC was on, an hour later the gas reformed in the tank and away we went lol.

Reason I mention this is because of the circulation of fuel and the heat it returned back to the tank, and what can happen, guess I need a fuel cooler for this one.

I believe that Top-DownSolutions.com has TBI regular parts. You might want to check with Lon, there. He's a great guy and will help you out.
