Corvette fuel rail and filter #s?
Corvette fuel rail and filter #s? What are the part numbers for the corvette fuel rail w/ regulator and the fuel filter? What year are these from?
I want to use them for my conversion. '02 LS1 in my '71 Chevelle.

It looks like the fuel filter is: Wix #33737
or AcDelco: #GF822
So with this filter the regulator is internal correct? What is the difference between the corvette and camaro fuel rail?

Need clarification, Are you planning on running the 2 outlet early Corvette fuel rail that has the pressure regulator and return built in? Or the single inlet fuel rail that needs a regulator elswhere like the one you posted a picture of? You may have your terms confused. The fuel rail is on the motor and has the injectors plugged into it.

I know the difference between a fuel rail and fuel filter. When this was explained to me previously I was told to use a corvette fuel filter and rail. Maybe this was the misunderstanding.
As I understand it now it is run either the early fuel rail or the fuel filter w/ regulator. Is this correct?
If I run this fuel filter w/ the built in regulator can I use my stock LS1 fuel rail?
If I only have to run a return line to the fuel filter that means a shorter line and less cost. Will there be much fuel pressure drop between the filter and the fuel rail (this concerns me)?
If the regulator is at the rail I think the pressure reading would be more accurate.
What did you do on the Stu?
I am trying to figure out what else I need for my fuel system.
List:
'95 Impala Tank
Racetronix 255lph pump upgrade kit
Thanks,

Yes placing the regulator filter closer to the tank would save fuel line. I have not heard of this creating a pressure drop problem, but I do not have experience in high output applications. It seems to work for the Factory LS6 Corvettes.

I used the stock fuel rail from my 2000 LS1 with the Corvette Filter/Regulator close to the tank. So far it is working fine, but I have less than 200 miles on it. From everything I have heard from others, it is a popular and trouble free set up.

Sounds like you would just need a regulator, lines and fittings to connect it all together. There is quite a bit of info in the FAQs on fittings that work with the Corvette regulator if that is the way you decide to go. Keep us posted on your project.
