Yup. I dunno how i did it, but its a brittle plastic and easy to crack so to anyone doing engine work, be careful with it. It goes into the fuel rail, and is about a foot long...that is the section i cracked. A foot or so later theres a plug where it turns hard again I spilled alot of gass everywhere, and i didnt know what it was for a day, i just smelled gas really heavily. my car could have caught on fire! it was so close to the headers! im very lucky.anyone know if they make stainless steel braided lines for our engine?

fuel line is not vehicle specific. youll have to buy a 12"in or lonnger piece. andget the fittings to adapt it.thats what stafford did. he might be able to tell you what specific fitting for it.if the guy at the auto parts store isnt a dork he should be able to look at it and tell.

if by enlarging the passages you mean the center bore. you cant do that on a stock hollow rail.aftermarket billet rails are usaully larger anyway.you can put larger injectors in the stock rail. it should flow enough for well over 300hp. any injector larger than stock requires fuel management.afc, emanage, unichip,split second. stafford makes a nice billet rail with connectors for sale check out
