Default fuel rail covers

I found a set of fuel rail covers off of a corvette (ls1), I was wondering will they fit with a fast 92 intake on my camaro? And also is all the holes and slits in the fuel rail covers off the corvette match up to the componets on the camaro, like the fuel crossover line and where the oil cap is? Thanks for any input!

They'll most likely work with the intake. But not if you've changed the fuel rail tubes.
Yea, they'll probably work.
Read, read, ..., & read some more, ...

Did you buy the two-slot covers, or the single slot covers?

I did a quick search and couldnt come up with anything, so I figured if I asked I would get the answer I was lookin for. I didnt buy anything yet. What do you mean by two slot or single slot?

The driver side cover will have either one or two slots cut into it for the fuel lines to go through. I believe the ones that come on vettes have one slot while the ones you can buy for f-bodies come with two. Here is a pic of one of my old covers with 2 slots.

I bought a set and attempted to mount on my car with FAST 90 intake. IF you are still running stock rails, then all you have to do is shave the humps down on the covers where they are made to fit against the LS1 intake. The FAST is taller and the tubes are wider. they can be made to fit, but will need a good bit of shaving.

I still have the stock rails. The covers only have 1 slit in them, so does that mean it will still work?

Yea, they'll still work, just not as easily as the two-slot covers.
Some people, as shown above, simply cut in the second slot, ..., or they run one of the fuel lines back underneath the cover to the front of the engine.
So trimming the arches where the covers meet the manifold may be required, just start slow & keep removing until you get to the desiired layout.

Ok good deal! Would there be any one that you would suggest over the other? I just thought I found a good deal on the single slit one for 30 bucks, and would go for it!
