I'll second that.  I've still got my original fuel lines all around on my 84
and had a blocked pressure regulator send the fuel pressure to 100 PSI+, and
none of the injector lines dripped a drop.  I do have a whole new set of
fuel lines from Ken at VanAgain waiting for the weekend to put in.  2-4
years lifespan might indicate some mediocre quality line.
