Fuel rail is almost done

The last few days have been spent working on the new fuel rail and throttle bodies. I fabricated a new bracket to bolt the 4 throttle bodies together, and made up the linkages to synchronize the butterflies. The last thing needed was a plate to bolt the fuel rail to the throttle bodies. All of this took some raw material, and some accurate measurements to make everything line up. It only took a few hours to fabricate everything, but I think the result is fairly good.

I still need to finish the fuel rail. For each fuel injector, I drilled 4 holes to hold the fuel rail down to the throttle bodies. For each of these holes, I need to drill and bottom tap each hole. This is the last thing, and the whole thing can get bolted together.

Then, once I scrape some money together, I can buy up all the little fittings and hoses to get everything hooked up. I do want to use some of these connectors I found to make the connection to the intake manifold. They are of very good quality, and promise to be waterproof.

Final thing, once everything is hooked up, everything thing gets the polish, and onto the engine! Truthfully, I don't think I have much work to do on the intake manifold. It could be a matter of hours.
