Fuel Rail Dilemma
I have interference with my fuel inlet and one of the coil packs - see pic. The manifold is an LS6 and the coil packs are fr a truck - obviously incompatible. My thought was to cut the inlet tube just before it makes the 90 deg turn under the fuel rail and use a Swagelok compression fitting and run the line straight out the back. I don't know what size the tube is (assume metric - haven't mic'd it yet) but I'm sure I can find a fitting that will work. Has anyone done something similar? Thanks. -Bob

I had the same issue and just left one bolt off of the coil pack to get the car running - I'll wait and see what you come up with!
But, I wonder if you could get a tubing bender in there and put a 45 on it?

When I had a stock fuel rail, I just cut and rewelded my coil bracket. The coil at the fuel inlet sits 3/4" lower than the rest. It was pretty slick looking, it looked factory when I finished it. Its alot cheaper than buying AN fittings.
