The passenger side fuel rail on the Holley StealthRam was originally designed to have a fuel pressure regulator attached to it. The regulator is now gone, and the fuel railis crossthreaded where the FPR was previously located. It is an o-ring design, but a pipe thread plug has been forced into the hole making it so it will leak whichever way we choose to go.
Based on the way the engine bay is laid out, we prefer to replace the fuel rail (thanks Holley) so we can run the on rail style regulator. If it the threads weren't so bad, we'd just run an external regulator w/ bypass return back to the tank. Both ways have worked well for us in the past, so I've decided to go with the cleaner setup to keep aesthetics nice and cost down for ol' Dave. Plus, we had already commited to running fuel lines to the rails, and naively assumed that all was in good working order.....fittings & hoses are already built so since the setup fuels Mike P's ProCharged StealthRam with plenty to spare, we should be good here too!
Otherwise, all is good. Hopefully Lady Luck is on our side, and that hideous Murphy's Law and the gremlins from the previous work performed will stay at bay. Planning on blacking out the wheels, building the intercooler piping, exhaust & maybe eliminating the rear bumper over the next weeks or month.....
