Default Do fuel injectors open when priming?
When I prime my fuel pump (01 fbody), should any fuel come out of the injectors?

Thanks!

No, the only thing that does is buildup the pressure in the rails so that the injectors are ready to fire immediately. If they do, you have leaky injectors and need to be replaced or fixed.

Thanks guys. I thought that was the case, but I was told conflicting information and wanted to make sure I wasn't the crazy one
