Fuel rail question

leo · 07-18-2001, 10:57 AM

I'm rebuilding everything around the vicinity of my lower intake due to a small fire under the hood. The stock fuel rail the got burned only ruined the front hose that connects the two rails (the rubber hose that goes across in front, in front of the distributor). Can I just replace the burnt hose or do I have to get a whole new fuel rail setup? I have another stock replacement but one of the metal hoses were broken off. I've tried to take this rubber/plastic hose off but its on there really good. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Leo

I have a 351. In order for the fuel rail to fit properly I had to remove those hoses and replace them with longer ones. Just make sure you use high pressure fuel line and some hose clamps. That was a long time ago. I forget exactly how I took them off, but I think it was just a matter of removing a steel band that was crimped on there or something.
