Bill Schertz certainly does not need any help from me, but I am
going
to make up some fuel rails per the article I referenced  the other
day.
  Any length, any space between injectors,  will not matter.
These
will have a 3/4 fuel  square fuel rail.  AN-6 both ends.
Probably
about one month before I get around to it.  In the case of Paul's
manifold, we will need a way to bolt the fuel rail so that it
snugs
the
injector into the socket.    Jerry

Jerry,
Is that the article that used 3/4" square steel with nipples welded
on?

When you get closer let me know, I may be interested if I haven't
done it
already.

Bill,  when  you get time, send me the exact (x.xxx) injector spacing
and I will make a prototype rail that you can try out.   Like I said,
it may be a month or two.    Jerry

Count me in. Steel or aluminum.  Aluminum is easier to just drill out
but
steel must be custom welded for each injector spacing. Another factor
is welding small rods close together for close injector spacing on
steel
with no leaks.

Also making an adjustable jig to hold the steel rods IMHO would
help. I have sold a bunch of those injector holder/bell mouths and each
installation is custom. No two will be welded together at exactly the
same spacing.

I'll bet there is an extrusion out there someplace if we could only
find it.

I don't know what the steel rods are.  The steel tube rail has injector
bosses welded to it and the ends are tapped for 3/8 pipe.  That is
about all there is to it, I think.   Did I miss something?   Steel or
aluminum?  We can go either way or both.   I don't know how to bore the
long hole in the aluminum rail.              Jerry

The rods are the bosses. If you don't drill them after welding there could be
welding distortion.

You use a long drill and drill in short stages. Also drill in from either end.
You need an Airgas catalog for cutting tools.

Now if we could only find an extrusion. I am sure there is one out there someplace.
