Putting new intake in and...

[PhLoBuS]

Well I am attempting to put my trickflow street heat upper and lower in with a 75mm TB. Now I have the upper off and now I notice how the Trickflow upper intake is alot different from the old Ford one. The openings for the hoses that go into the new intake are different and there is more of them in the Trickflow intake. I know that some have to be plugged and some are used but... I dont know its hard to explain you would need to see it.

Anyways my fuel rails will not come apart. I have the special tools for getting them apart and still no luck... should I try to get the spring holding them together out of there? If you have replaced/upgraded your upper and lower intake you probably could help me. Any info wont hurt

It sounds like you already have the fuel line disconnect tool. What I had to do with mine to get them apart was put it on and engage the spring then as gently as I could, hold the other half of hte line with a set of channel locks. Find another set of hands and have them pry in between the disconnect tool and channel locks while you hold them to forcebly spread them apart. It was a PITA to get them separated without damaging the fuel lines but I managed to get away with it with only a couple small gouge marks in the fuel line. I plan on cutting those pieces of crap off and replacing them with AN fitting in the very near future.

I didn't disconnect my fuel rails when I did my H/I/C setup. Just disconnected the rails from the clamp on the head bolt and moved them to the side while i worked... I was too lazy... For the Intake I belive I used two plugs. One on each side... I think...
