Fuel rails
The DivisionX fuel rails arrived today and are not exactly what I expected. The driver side (top in photo below) has a -8AN port at each end. There is a port that may match the fuel rail pressure sensor (FRPS) in the forward half and a plate that I think covers a 1/8 inch NPT port in the aft section. The allen heads on the aft plate fasteners are mangled and will probably be difficult to remove.
The passenger side (bottom in photo above) has a -8AN port at the forward end and a plug at the aft end.
The photo below is of the interior side of the rails.
The photo below is of the exterior side of the rails. Obviously, the rails were connected in the front. I was planning on connecting them in the rear but maybe there isn't room for that.
The seller told me they were in a return type fuel system. I'm surprised the passenger rail aft end was plugged. It was my understanding the Cobra and the Mach 1 fuel supply is on the passenger side. Maybe the feed was connected to the front of both rails and the return was at the aft end of the driver side rail.
I couldn't wait to see if the driver side rail would fit on the Mach 1 intake manifold.
It does but I would prefer to have the NPT port in a more accessible location if I connect a pressure gauge to it. In the next few days I'll remove the throttle body to confirm that the passenger side rail will install. Then I'll see if the driver side rail will install on the passenger side and not interfere with the throttle body with the FRPS installed. I need to look at blower installations to determine associated rail configuration requirements.
DivisionX makes a 90 degree FRPS relocation fitting for clearance when installing a Whipple 3.4L or 4.0L supercharger - larger than what I'll need but an additional reconfiguration option.
