Corvette base + F-body fuel rail = Leak?
I installed ZZ4 heads and cam on my 1991 roller L98 motor, so I threw on a Corvette TPI base and it bolts right up.
Problem is, it seems the factory F-Body rail sits too high on the base and does not allow the fuel injectors to seat properly and eventually a couple of them will start leaking (badly)..
How should I fix this problem?
I do not have a Corvette fuel rail (just got the bare base) and was told the inlets on the TPI Corvette rail were different anyways.

Some fuel injectors (notably Ford injectors) are a bit shorter then stock TPI injectors. If that's the problem you're having, there are enough people that have worked around that problem that a search should give you the answer you need. I'm willing to bet it has nothing to do with the Corvette base.
