Explorer Fuel Rail With Return

[Tias]

Does anyone have any sources for the 96-97 Explorer fuel rail with a return? We don't have many junkyards up here so that isn't much of an option for me. Ebay has a few listings for the later returnless rails, but none for the return.

Bonus question, has anyone had much success using the returnless rail with an A9L ecm? I have a returnless rail which came with the GT40 intake, but Google tells me this combo does not work together.

I've done a returnless rail with a '95 mustang EEC-IV setup, for all pratical purposes the same. It gets close to the distributor, you have to use the taller integrated TFI distributor and not the remote TFI distributor. But that would be correct for an A9 computer anyway.

The trick is a remote mounted pressure regulator. MSD-2222 come off the top of my head as a simple basic (not fancy overpriced failure prone race parts) vacuum referenced fuel pressure regulator. Keep the vacuum line fairly short, firewall mount. It worked fine on a V8 swapped Ranger I did 15 years ago.

good luck finding something. i ended up finding a very nice one out of a pick and pull in El Paso when i was there for work a couple years ago. Someone had pulled the engine and the rail was sitting in the back of the explorer.

You might consider "hiring" someone on here that lives in the desert states and goes into PnP on occasion to get one for you.

Just be careful using old fuel injection line.

See all those burned circles on side of roads on the freeway? Thats a car-BBq. Probably form old EFI cars springing a 90P{SI fuel leak. Whhhhomp.

If you have some cash, you can by an aftermarket fuel rail and use new hoses.
