New Fuel Rail Usable?

[Mastrcruse]

I have my new fuel rail and the feed is on the opposite end. Can I use this or do I need to use my original? What’s the significance of the feed?

someone else will chime in but i think just needs different routing of the supply line. not 100% sure if there is anything else you need to use it. can probably check realoem for the diagrams

Thanks.

Funny thing is I ordered the one from RealOEM that has the feed on the other side in the picture. :)

I think this is correct. How old is your car OP? would personally prefer the new style of the rail, keeps hoses in the visible and accessible area.
