I built a fuel rail, and if I were doing
it again I would use the same parts,
but I would do it a little different.
First you need a long piece of brass
1/8" pipe, you are going to solder the
joints so it has to be copper or brass
and clean, I used 3 or 4, 4" brass nipples
and it was a PITA to solder, if I were doing
it again I would solder first and drill out
the hole after, you will need a drill press
with a vice, a good selection of the right
size bits, go easy on the brass, it's soft
and drills too easy, the bits get jammed
sometimes. You will also need some brass
Ts, one for each injector, you will also need
some good fittings for the ends to hook up
the fuel supply and pressure regulator
Figure the spacing between intake runners,
I think it was 3-1/2" but check, also it depends
on where you put the injector bungs, in fact
do those first so you can adjust the Ts on the
brass pipe.
Drill the threads out of the Ts, so the pipe can
slide through, place the T's and put the whole
thing on a flat surface that won't burn when
you heat the assembly with a torch, solder each
T into place with good plumbing solder, make sure
you have good smooth solder joints and you won't
have any leaks.
The bungs need to be very close to the same angle,
if not purfect for a good seal on the injectors bottom
O-ring, now you can thread in barbed hose fittings
that will attach to each injector with a piece of high
pressure fuel hose.
This is the easiest low budget way I could come up
with to build a fuel rail, any other builders out there
can input also, as I'm all for cost effective ways of
solving problems like this.
