Default Edelbrock gets an F.

Doing a L92 Vic Jr swap on my LS S10. Looked inside the fuel rail and went Damn! If these "Made in USA" companies keep making parts like this I may be buying chinese.

That sucks. I ordered my rails last week, hope they aren't the same way. I'm sure edelbrock would make it right if you contact them. They had some issues with the Vic jr. Cracking at the intake ports A while back and they replaced them at no cost to the customers.

The other fuel rail is fine,just this one. I'm sure it slipped by QC. I was in a rush to get everything assembled to keep the truck running and had to put the old setup back on. Twice the labor and gasket sets. My old setup is going on a customers car and now have to wait to put the customers car together. Time is money.....

id de-bur them myself and save the wait, its just the shavings from drilling through from the injector side to the fuel rail. you can prolly stick a long screwdriver down it and pick them out. just make sure you get them all... since time is money for ya

Yeah,I know. I'm just bitching cause I like to think I can order everything and just assemble w/o checking. But,as many engines as I build. I always check everybodys work cause I'm the one pulling it back out if it doesn't work.
