the factory fuel lines are run in series, meaning fuel comes in the back of the driver side rail the through the cross over at the front and into the pass side and returns out the back of the pass .........this is on the 94+

correct and as you had noted earlier with using AN, but it must have been missed

here is a pic I found with a quick search : lethal93ta

not sure on those rails

The pic was more so for the crossover and not the design. There is a lot going on with the regulator and lines.

can you post a pic of your intake / rails? I still think you could do this cheap and look much better.

EDIT: it looks to me like those Vette rails could work.

quick connects and then some 45's or something back to the drivers side as I have mine done

Well I have no pics of the rails, they are almost impossable to take a pic of way back there. But if you have a 1993 mine are the same. What kind of connection is on the hard lines where the hard and flex line meet?

How the hell would that setup work up there? The regulator is after the injectors on whatever side the fuel runs through first isnt it? It just doesent look right. I should be before the rails on both sides I would think.

I have a 97 w/ the factory crossover. I found a pic of the 93 rails which looks to have hard lines which run up to the drivers side front.

I wish a had a firm answer on the Vette rails you linked, but as mentioned I think it would work.

The setup pictured feeds in both rails in the rear then into the regulator which then regulates it back to the tank.

this is my guess by the looks of it

nope regulator is always on the return side

those rails are setup in parallel unlike the stockers. the fuel enters the back of EACH rail, exits the front of EACH rail then Y's into the regulator then returns

heres how mine will be

fuel leaving the lines is regulated so if its kept at 43.5 psi, that psi will back up through the rails all the way to the feed. get it?

like if you had a garden hose (feed) on full blast going into a connected to a tube (Rails) which had a hole the size of a penny in the end pressure in the tube is gonna be stuck at whatever can get out of that hole (regulator)

lol i hope thats a god comparison

AAAhh! Iget it! so the regulator is like a dam! It regulates behind itself and keeps the rail pressure the same no matter what the consumption is. I should got that before lol.
