Fuel rails clearing the distributor.

**lxlaw_wfo** · 02-03-2006, 04:56 PM

I have seen a few cars with a 8.5 deck that have the rails clearing the distributor coming out of the front, instead of in the middle. can someone tell me how you can do it, i have seen the rails made by some companies that have angled ends, but i already have aeromotive rails. I was told by aeromotive it shim the front out more than the back to get the angle, any one else have any ideas or ways that they did it. I have also heard of using a smaller cap on my MSD distributor.

The only way to go is get the Behind Bars Race Cars rails. Shimming and messing around like that will just lead to disaster.

i tried to call them and contact them, but never got an answer or a response.

Huh, we just got a set from them a month ago. Too bad they aren't more responsive because they make some nice stuff.

Call Behind Bars again. They were very helpful for me and quick might I add. They do have an online site where you can buy things. It seems this time of the year these shops are busy as all hell as I think they are also a chassis shop which may be why they have not gotten back to you yet.
Good Luck
