10millionth question about leaking fuel pressure...

Do I get a prize? ZZ4TPI with #24lb LT1 injectors (just serviced/flow matched by Rick at Cruzin Performance.) I also have the Edlebrock HiFlow base so I'm thinking I need to jack up the fuel rail with washers. Approx how high? 1/8"? 1/16". I turn the key "on" and the pressure rises to operating pressure and immediately leaks down to zero pretty quick. I have had some harder starts lately but I think the MSD 6AL is able to fire thru the gas. Car also will stumble at idle occasionally. Also some of my little orange rings around the inujectors are broken, these serve any purpose?

i am one of the first people who have this Edelbrock intake fuel pressure problem.. we should get togeher on this one and complain to Edelbrock, it has casued me months of diagnosing and hours of taking apart my engine, not to mention lots of $$$

1/8 washers should work fine.
get in contact with me.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the issue with the Edelbrock base? Some sort of a casting geometry error? Does the same problem exist with the Accel base? This might help me determine whether to buy a new base or extrude hone the stock one.
