Suspect that last 4 digits of the option line should be TOP2 instead of TPO2. Fred - what colour would that make the top? Oh now I see you included it up above ( black ) next to the paint colour.
Hey Carl, here's my dumb question for this week. What would happen if a 3/8" line was run to a 283 engine. Does it have to do with fuel pump pressure, or fuel volume?

Hi Carl, I thought it was just the big block cars with 3/8 size lines but its 327's too?
Yes, 327's use 3/8" as far as I've seen. There may be some very early cars (62'ish) that are 5/16" but it has never failed me yet looking at the 65 and up 327 cars, regardless of whether they are Acadian, Beaumont, Parisienne or whatever.

No problem Darryl, it would work fine. The pump will draw whatever it can and push it up to the carb but the needle and seat will only allow into the fuel bowl the amount needed.
On the other side of it, the odd time my 5/16" line on the 65 Acadian was a bit small for a hard run when I had the 427 in it!
