The only problem with the Vette intakes is that the fuel rails point towards the passenger side. Since you have to fabricate new fuel lines anyhow this isn't a big deal, but you have to run longer lines and that increases cost and pain in the *** factor.

1992/93 rails can be used and the intake itself is a little nice and the castings are higher quality, but they require more work to make fit.

So basically, the easiest, cheapest way to procees are 1994+ Caprices, Fleetwoods, Roadmonsters, and F-bodies.

First, here:

...............................................................................................
...............................................................................................


Some extra periods, since you seem to be missing that key on your keyboard.

OK. Pay attention, theres gonna be a quiz later.

F/B body fuel rails exit pointing towards the driver side of the car.

Y body (Corvette) rails exit pointing to the PASSENGER side of the car.

Since the fuel lines on a TPI F-body come up on the drivers side of the car, it easier to have fuel rails that exit, pointing that way.

Get it?

Got it?

GOOD.

Yeesh®

Much improved.

Thats why I was talking TPI F-body.

OK, then you'll prefer having Vette fuel rails too. The AFPR still fits on the drivers side rail tho.
