All,
I recently bought an LT4 fuel rail to go with my LT4 intake (previously using a 92-style rail). The rail I received seems to be missing the collar to connect the return hard line with the regulator (see pic). The guy has promised to send me the collar but I dont see how I could install it - to me it looks like someone cut off the old one? Anyhow - I wonder if someone could check for me the layout of the collar on a 1994 or later rail. Thanks! Attach file:  LT4 Rail ebay small.JPG (172.95 KB) |

Thanks Andy - it does. The collar that screws onto your regulator - does it look as if it could be disassembled and removed from the pipe or is it a 'permanent' fixture?

Tough question. I would about have to take it apart to see.
Couldn't you just unbolt your regulator from the presnt rails and bolt it onto the new ones without unhooking that line from the regulator? |

Not really - the regulator on 92/93 cars is on the passenger side and has a completely different pipe. The collar on my existing one is not removable... |

Andy - that looks awesome, thanks - it shows a removable clip that attaches to the pipe and regulator. The guy on ebay shipped me a 'clip' yesterday, and I was skeptical that it would work. However if he sent the same type as the one in the picture then I'll be very happy!

Then all you need is the o-ring. Good deal!
