Notice where it hits the distributor and take a grinding wheel to it. Go back and see if it still hits. If it does go back to the grinding wheel. Take these steps until it doesn't hit. I just did this and its not that big of a deal at all.

I want to see pictures!!! I never had this problem. Then again i never needed to use aftermarket fuel rails until i went to a 351+ Motor. My Fuel Rails clear with inches to spare.

You do realize a 302 and a 351 are completely different motors right?

Was kidding...

BTW they're not Completely different. Block is just a lil wider and taller. They are both Windsors. Accessories & heads bolt up. Same distributor Cap & rotor. Same Firing order, Same Cam. Same piston bore Same oil filter....You get the point. The 94/95 mustangs have more annoying differences than any of the 351/ 302's ie. Accessory brackets and intake that they decided to make for only 2 years. I also use 302 Aeromotive Fuel Rails on my 351 based motor :OT:

But i digress. I realize theres alot of guys who have clearance issues....and trimming the rail would prob. be the best bet. I would still love to see a pic. Just incase i come across it on a friends car.

The wider lower intake on the 351 allows for more room around the distributor for the rails.

i took the fuel rail off today and it doesn't look like there is much that can be grounded off
does anyone have any pics or more specific instructions on how they did it ?
it looks to me if i do much grinding at all ill actually be inside the furl rail in time at all

this is really pissing me off i may have to go and but the 300$ distributor

The worst part is that the aftermarket distributors like the MSD are known to fail quite a bit.
