Default A question about fuel line size

Hello there I'm new here and just need a little help ,I'm planing to swap an lq4 in my 86 caprice.It will be my First time swapping an engine and I'm really looking forward to get started. I'm already ordering all the parts that I need for the swap. But there is one problem with the fuel delivery system that I cant wrap my head around.

So I read in a lot of places that the return line for the should be 5/16 or -5 an but I search all over the Internet and couldn't find hoses and fittings with that size. And my question is > Is it ok to run -6 hose and fittings in place of the -5 for the return line?

And I'll be grateful if someone could give me a link to someone who sells -5 hoses and fittings.

thank you

You can use virtually any size you want as long as its not a restriction.

You can't find them because AN comes in even numbers... -4, -6, -8 etc... only odd number I know of is -3
