Default Aftermarket Rail Installation Question

Upgrading the rails on the wifes 2000 camaro. Since the regulator is in the tank, can I just go from the stock rail push on connection to the aftermarket rail and have it work correctly? I didn't want to have to re-engineer the fuel system to use the upgraded rails.

I used http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RUS-640940/ to go from the factory 3/8 fuel line to a -6 AN fitting on my LS6

Did it work fine with no issues at the normal pressure?

Yes, worked fine when I had an OEM setup and it works well now with an aftermarket pump, FAST fuel rails, fuel pressure regulator, etc.

(With the OEM rails, I converted the under-hood fuel line to a -6 line. That required I use RUS-640940 plus http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RUS-640850/ on the rail's input.)

Do not use the fittings with the nylon lock. They are known to fail under pressure.
Use the style with the threaded collar.
