Default Rusted fuel Rail and Plenum leak

So I have a bad plenum leak, and need to do the fix. BUT, my fuel rail is rusted badly and I dont want to touch it without a backup. does anyone have a spare that they want to sell? Injectors would be good as well.

Called the dealer, and asked.... They are of the opinion that it 'should' work...... Anyone else care to weigh in on this? I don't wanna ship off a part that he can't use.

The burden should be on me, so I will take a look at the rail ends, and see what they are, male/femal/push to connect/threaded etc. then I can compare to what you have. Zman17, can you elaborate on what is not compatible?

The fuel line connection is different. So you would have to get that also.

Plus the plastic ones do not have a test port, which kind of sucks.
