I run a raceworks regulator as my stock one gave out, but before that I did run the stock reg, you need a little adaptor that converts it into a -8 fitting which I think aeroflow makes from memory.

Ah yup just found them ill order one of them and im assuming they run same size fittings as the efi or raceworks rail

Fitment was all fine, the only thing wiht the edelbrock manifold is you need to shorten the intake manifold bolts.

I bought a new set on ebay for like $30 then cut about 1cm off the end of them to shorten them.

You'll need a different radiator hose, I use an LX V8 torana hose with an Aeroflow thermostat housing.

You'll also need to extend your IAC and TPS wiring to reach the new location of the throttle body.

All arrived today so ended up going with the edelbrock manifold and raceworks rail i dont want to modify andthing yet but rails on and brackets and on but they only fit one way,

Only way to make them work is to make spacers or modify the brackets which id rather not do heres some photos i could just be over looking something

I got some tube aluminium from Bunnings and made some little pedestals the bolts go through to space it.

I’m in Melbourne atm but can take some pics when I’m back

Yeah would be good if you could itll give me some ideals, thought id ask the question because theres brackets and i feel like they should work i wasnt sure if i was missing something

Any chance those little brackets could be flipped and still align? Or was that what you are saying only goes 1 way.

Pedestal/spacer set up is fine though. I'm running them on my COME TTB as well.

It looks like the hole will be to the other side.
Then if that was the case you would want to slot them in a mill.
Then the heights might not be exact so Then you may need to slot the dual holes on the rail side.

It's PITA work when you're dealing with little brackets like that.

Yeah just having a good look at them now ive got more time i think i will have to fip the brackets upside down but where the holes are on the brack ill have to drill new ones so ill just have to workout the height,

i might be able to get away with folding the tab inwards on the manifold end and the hole would line up on the manifold but ill just have to check injector fitment first

Yeah scrap that idea it didn’t quite work out like id though haha spacers are the go then

 

[shane_3800]

How long do the spacers need to be?
I have these alloy spacer things that hold idlers on timing belt kits, I've been collecting them.
I think they're about 40 to 50mm long, I'll have to check tomorrow.

 

[Cammed 6]

Measurement is about 65mm from the manifold to the bracket so if i do it that way ill find some decent solid spacers and put a bolt down the gutts of it, thats how its sitting all setup with injectors
