They now make fuel rail adapter like you have with a built in 90 degree. It eliminates the fitting coming so far out the side. Also flipping the fuel rail will also set it closer back to the firewall. You can bend the fuel rail some but I would flip it first.

Very doubtful. You need fittings specific to the hose.

Thanks don Russell who is owned by Edlebrock has the cruddy info on there site searching for the part number in the instructions section goes nowhere

I think this might be what I need Russell 632063 Black ProClassic Hose

But I have 6 foot of Summit Racing® Braided Nylon Hose SUM-240606B

Think that might work?

Sorry no idea. Russell rubber hose sucks for fuel. I used it and it degraded quickly.
