Ahhhhh, I missed your text between the pics. It makes more sense now but, it seems as though you ran your rails in parallel versus the series recommended in the manual? Or, am I looking at it wrong?

That's correct, should equalize pressure and volume between the banks. As opposed to having one rail benefiting more than another before being dumped back to the tank.
Exactly how mine is setup. A little more plumbing, but a more efficient system.
This car is fighting me.
So I decided to take a little "me time", what was supposed to be a 10 minute job took an hour. Why? Because the stock steering shaft refused to collapse. And the new Jeep shaft was too long.
Mr. Sawzall fixed them right good and proper.
Fortunately I have a Jeep shaft on the wagon as a reference. 5 inches out of both ends and it went in like butter (other than the normal grinding and swearing).
Backside of the steering box looks like crap now.
Oh, and the car doesn't want to run/idle anymore despite fixing the fuel system. Go figure. Battery is pretty weak so it is probably taken exception to the constant cranking and exacerbating the problem. Meh... I'll figure it out.

Is that a speed density system or MAF? I've always found that SD changes its tune with the season.
Change, yes. Fall so out of spec it doesn't run? Nope. Not unless the tune is total crap and stuck in Open Loop. I do Closed Loop tuning (both STFT and LTFT) to compensate for environmental irregularities and changes.
Last night I reset the TPS and IAC and removed all the DTCs that were previous flagged. Then I realized that it was going to be a crappy night with the battery becoming so very weak and dying. Going to get a new one in a bit.
New battery in.
Tune tweaked.
Loose fuel return line tightened.
Fuel pressure adjusted.
Belt squealing.
Alternator bearings seized.
Car runs.
Me:
Am I an a$$hole? Do I look like an a$$hole?
The Car:
Yeah.

The belt squeal was unbearable and damaging the belt. So go back to February for a reminder. 😉
I'll put an alternator on it shortly.
