Default cant find the correct answer anywhere, ...

I am about to purchase a set of 94-96 vette fuel rail covers and the seller says all tabs are intact just alittle dusty and scuff marks, nothing more than that. I want to know exactly how the vette FRC's are modded to fit the camaro lt1s. I just tried to look, but it doesnt seem to find a correct answer or atleast pics for that matter of how to do it. The posting says that they are held down by the fuel rail studs, is that true? Like i said if i could get pics that would be great. I am trying to cover up this wiring mess as much as possible, lol

How much are you spending for these and how much are you WILLING to spend?? I bought a set from a company that are already ready to go onto the car, completely redone and coated gloss black. They look AMAZING but they werent 80 bucks like the vette ones are.

Here is the link to the ones I bought. The LT1 Covers are at the bottom, but they have LS1, LS2, LS3 and LS7 covers as well!

i just got a set for 1992-93. The only diff is the one is a little longer..anyway you need hold down studs that bolt in near the injectors:


On a fbody you need to trim for the fuel lines on the drivers side, but you may be ok there, looking at your pic. Also on a fbody you need to notch the pass side for the alt bracket. I have a photocopy of some instruction i can scan and upload tomorrow. They are not perfect. The site that used to have the write up seems to be gone.

thanks for the link man, yea thats a bit more than i want to spend. I want to do some other stuff to the covers themselves besides doing what they did and smooth them. i want to do it alittle different than wat everyone has. They are like 50 bux right now but still have a few days, i figure most go for 80 bux or so.

Awesome thanks man. Yea i figured there was more than what they said and just the fuel rail studs to hold them down. I figure i can get these on and do the battery relocation and do the overflow on the core support and ditch the washer tank, it will clean up the bay alot. So yea if you could get that right up posted up here thatwould be great.

here is the paper that came with my FRC's. Sorry the quality is not that good.

I have a stock cammed/heads LT1 with full boltons. My exhaust is Pacesetter long tubes (no emissions), 3 " ORY(removabe cats, not in now) and a borla muffler. Where the plate for the Borla is I have a e-cutout. Basically i am running a 3" straight pipe off the Y. It sound good, but gets loud in the car after a while. Is nice to close the plate on long trips. I am near Odessa. PM me and maybe we can meet up sometime. Currently the car is parked in my shop, but I have plently of room to move it out and run it.
