    Question on TCE fuel rail fittings

    Picked up a set of the TCE -6AN fuel rail fittings. Having an issue with clearance for the fittings behind the throttle body flange, even with a low profile 90* fitting. Anyone else ran into this?

        Aah, mine was with a 3500 UIM. I've since flipped my rail around backwards to hide the fittings (RWD app).

        There is a little wiggle room on the fuel rail, you can open up the mounting holes with a stepper bit and move it to the left about 1/8".

          This is good to know since I was thinking about getting a set of these to make my plumbing neater with the new Nitrous setup. But at the same time my plenum will be about 3/4" higher than that one so the flange may clear fine...

              i already did clearance the flange a bit, going to open up the holes like was mentioned earlier. Wish i would have thought of that before. And yes its its paint, white/blue pearl to match the car.
