I'm not sure about that....it "might" be ok...and it might not...
as for it pointing at the ground , think about where the exhaust is, and fuel spraying around ....if it should fail
If you have the correct pushlock, it will snap right onto the rail...did you have the correct size?...
I havnt looked at Eric's link yet so I'm not sure what involved there..
You can always change the fuel rail to a returnless rail...junk yards are full of them...
