Default Carb lsx fuel system.

I have a 99 v6 camaro, looking to do a carbed ls swap, has anyone done this? How did you run your fuel system, and can I use my stock fuel lines?

I guess you could ?

Would need to regulate it down to 7psi for a Holley or 5psi for an Edelbrock.

Did you use a braided steel line for your return side?

They make a an adapter peice that snaps onto your stock fuel feed line under the hood where your factory line woulda connected it to your fuel rail then just run some 3/8 braided to your regulator

I did the same with my car. i installed the t block off of a ls1 fuel line for the return. so its exactly like a factory v8 ls1 car, then i used the factory 3/8 fuel line and using the connector mentioned above that snaps in to the factory fuel line ran 6an braided hose to my fuel pressure regulator blocked off the return on the regulator and ran my fuel line to the carb. I am also still using the upgraded efi in-tank fuel pump regulated down to 7psi
