Just twist the rails out of the way...towards the front.

Can leave the distrib in if you are weary of re-installing it.

You need what's called a fuel line quick disconnect tool

up and to the back,it just makes the install a little tricky with the diz still in , the intake dosn't go all the way around the dis shaft, thats a sbc your thinking of
