i bought a set of Corvette fuel rail covers from summit racing they told me they would fit and they dont want to fit on there it says minor fabrication but i have no idea what to trim off and how to put them on. anyone have any pics they could show me how to do this.

thanks billy

 

ill look for some pics, but you need to cut a pretty big chunk of the back of the passenger side. you also have to notch a little for the throttle cable bracket and the oil dipstick on that side.

the driver side just needs another fuel line cutout. should look identical to the other notch thats already in it. general rule of thumb is to cut it at the other side of the "5.7" logo (where the raised ribs stop)

best idea is just lay them down and get a sharpie to trace whereever there is contact. il try to get some pics later of mine...

 

thanks alot man i would really appriciate it. if i send you a pic of the ones i got do you think you could mabey get on paint or something on your comp and like draw on them were i need to cut that would help me out alot man.

thanks

 

yeah that would be better becasue i realized that after i cut mine to fit, i changed my mind and painted my valve covers, so i dont have any decent pictures, just send the pics to me and ill do what i can.

p.s. im working on a pretty horrible paper right now too, so dont expect anything really quick

heres a pic of mine. i took this pic for this exact reason.


and i had to do some fine tuning once it was in. i didnt notch out around the throttle cable, i just made a slit which isnt shown in that pic.

 

see i have these on my car without any modding of the covers.i'm kidding. i actually didn't know ya needed to mod them to get 'em to fit on the f-body.~Cole~

 

fast01 did a better job than i could have done, thats exactly what you need to do.

you cant see it in that picture but you need to cut the front corner of the passenger side just a little to get the throttle cable to thread through

 

if you dont have AIR, then you dont need to do anything to the drivers side...i learned that after i traced the template off a car that has AIR

pics:



my drivers side is for sale if you have AIR and want to trade me...the red CORVETTE was completely scuffed and is filled in with dyn-a-lite...it just needs 1 tiny spot filled yet that you can only see/feel in person; but its otherwise ready for paint

let me know if you wanna trade

 

ya if u dont have all the emissions junk u dont have to trim hardly anything on them. its all the people who still have that who cut the crap out of them.

u can see in the back i just trimmed it a tad to clear the ac box.

 

so would the GTO style ones be easier to put on, like no as much modification to??? or are the they same??

thanks alot for you guys help

billy

 

thanks. i did it based on pics i saws of finished products. I had to do some fine trimming to get them to fit perfectly, but they came out ok in the end.
