So yesterday, the fuel rail looked like this:
And even though that works for how it mounts to it's twin-cam sibling, it wasn't going to work on this single-cam geezer. So I broke out the hacksaw, which decided it didn't want to live on this planet anymore, and committed suicide.
Using the end of it that never gets used (and is thus still sharp), I managed to hack and eventually bend and break off the rear tab.
And a little work on the bench grinder cleaned it up.
Before I began on the front I decided to open up the FPR to make sure there wasn't a bunch of varnished gas in it (and to hopefully identify the inlet and return). Popped out the snap ring (seen below), got a small screwdriver under the tab and pried it out. Pretty good, gas smelled reasonably fresh.
Then I got to work on the front tab, and I knew the hacksaw wasn't going to cut it this time (rimshot). Then I remembered we have a Sawzall.
Which produced a significantly cleaner cut than a worn-out hacksaw.
And there it is, all modded up and ready to fit to the intake.
