just some extra info i just found out.....

the 4 port fuel rail and the 8 port fuel rail are different......

i ordered a sexy fuel rail because it was available

then when i tried to match everything up to make sure it works .......

i noticed the holes are in different locations hahaha

so in conclusion my bran new 8port sexyness fuel rail dont fit my 4 port setup

i dont want anyone else to make the same mistake i did.....

maybe i should stuck with the stupid 4AGE haha not CA18det FTW!!!!

Just make one. Ross machine hooked me up with rail stock for chump change. The tool to drill the holes is no joke but it's a one shot job with the special bit..http://www.rossmachineracing.com/

no. I would recommend you clamp the rail in a fixture to keep it from shifting and use a drill press to drive the holes. The drill press will ensure that all the holes go in straight and you can set the stop so they all terminate at the same height. The special tool is nothing more than a standard drill bit that has been turned down.I'm getting the -10 rail for the CA project.
