Need Help with fuel rail swap
I currently have a 4.8 in my 69 chevelle with a ls1 intake. Finally able to get a good deal on a ls1 fuel rail and injectors. Looking to switch everything over this weekend.
Question I have is that the 4.8 fuel rail has 2 lines and the ls1 has one line.
What the best way to go about the switch.
Do I need to buy a fuel filter with a return? If so any ideas? Part number?
I don't think I can use the corvette regulator with the ls1 fuel rail.? Or can I?
All help is welcomed and thank you

Yes the Corvette pressure regulator/filter can be used, but why would you want to switch away from the return style regulator that you are currently using? Many people feel that it is better to have the fuel return nearer the fuel rail than the gas tank. I'm sure someone with more knowledge that me will chime in here.

Yep, the Corvette regulator/filter will solve the problem for you. Another set up could be an aftermarket return style regulator up front since you already have a return line going back to your tank. Supposedly it keeps the fuel cooler.
