Need fuel rail help

keakua · 07-16-2002, 07:45 PM

finally got everything put together, oil prepped the rebuilt motor, put gas in the tank, charged the battery and all I needed to do was drop in the distributor before cranking it up after 11 months in the garage. but... just added Aeromotive fuel rails and there is no way in hell that the distributor is going to be forced into place with those things digging into it let alone move at all to adjust timing. similar problems? solutions? advice?

Did you use the spacers for the drivers side rail? You need them.
Do you have any -AN fittings on the front of the drivers side rail? If so find another way to to install the fuel lines, it will not fit unless you notch the distrubuter.

yea, i used the spacers on the drivers side rail and i have it plugged with the plug that came with the rail, but its still not fitting in. i even took out the screws to move the rail out farther, but the injectors are at enough of an angle to leak going into the intake.
