A new '96-'97 fuel rail - stock

Note the crossover lines which will have to be modified to clear the supercharger

Cutting off the hoses (carefully) revealed the factory socketless hose barbs used for the fuel rail crossover tubes.

The factory tubes are actually plastic and coated with a rubber or vinyl like material.

I needed longer crossover tubes to clear the supercharger.

I looked through Summit's catalog and looked for the manufacturer which had socketless fittings that best matched the factory ones (so I knew their hose would seal well) - the Summit branded fittings/hose matched best but I don't know who makes it for them (Russel?)

I wanted black but blue is all that was available for this size (-6AN)

Factory rails with tubes removed

Modified fuel rails with new hoses

Test fit on the manifold.

Still a little tight, but it clears. The fuel rail inlet, outlet and the one crossover barb which is on a tube rather than attached to rail were all slightly bent for clearance.


Note the blower case color before I painted it.Can also see a test fit of one of the stainless button socket head screws (M8x1.25)
