LEAKS !

Scott , i don't know how much difference there is between your 96 & my 88 when it comes to fuel lines but mine were leaking because of rust . & all the connections where rubber line met metal line were so rusted that they were never coming apart . so what i did was gut all the fuel lines from the firewall back . I replaced them all with metal break line including the filter . it wasnt to bad of a job , just a little custom bending around where the fuel filter was . Then connected on both ends with a new rubber fuel line & some clamps . (at the tank & the firewall)

I'm pretty sure the 96 uses a multi-port injection that uses higher fuel pressure. If so, you can't use simple rubber hose and clamps like you can on the TBI.
+1 reasons why it's better to own a TBI vehicle.

Yup, the fuel pressure would be the problem with trying that fix Skippy.
