fuel rail fitting hitting firewall i got some nasty peformance fuel rails on the fast 90 intake and i am trying to install the intake but the back 90 degree fitting is hitting the firewall even if i rotate the fitting. has anyone else experienced this?? how can i fix this?
Are ... the rails marked for a particular side?
Do they have an "outer" side, such as with lettering, etc?
Are the inj holes drilled the same distance from the ends, on the 4 corners?
Are the threads set up for AN fittings, and o'rings, or pipe threads?
[I've not installed this system, so that's the reason behind the ??'s.]
If they are not drilled the same distance, can they be swapped side to side, to put the "short" side at the firewall?
If they have pipe threads, can the rail be cut off, and the threads extended further into the rail?
[AN threads could have the same mod, only the o'ring recess would have to be recut.]

I have the same car with FAST rails. Crossover front only,to cross the rear you have to modify(cut) the fiberglass behind the rail ends to clear the fittings.There just isnt any room back there for them.
