Garfinkle makes new end parts for the pri fuel rail that has 3/8 steel lines comming out where they need to be for his set up . the new end parts have two or three O rings on each end . The flat part is thicker than stock and is held on with allen head screws . the stock bore of the rail was drilled out bigger as well .The fuel pressure damper is gone . All of his gas lines are custom made with no 90 degree elbows, and 3/8 air craft tubing from the pump to the fuel pressure regulator . The stock rails can be tapped but the method he used did not leave the alum casting thin or weak .
