Putting the distributor in my street hemi (67) and Im having a problem with the distributor cap interfering with the fuel line that exits the left side of the "T" fitting, which feeds the front carb. Anyone run into this problem?? Almost looks like the support bracket that attaches to the top coil bolt and goes to the right side of the "T" puts that fitting too far to the left. Appreciate some help or pictures

THanks

Common problem with reproduction fuel lines, they are way off sometimes and need to be tweaked pretty good to fit. So far I have found that none of the reproductions out there match originals perfectly. Here is an original set installed on a 67 Hemi Belvedere.

He was in a hurry to install these getting ready for a show, they are not installed propely, bracket is bent, routing, etc. but regardless they are reproductions and were off by a mile.
