Accel DFI ECU Distributor Compatibility

Hello,

I have a 94’ mustang GT 5.0L and put a Vortech V1 supercharger on it. The same guy I bought the supercharger from sold me an Accel DFI ECU/Harness, ignition box, and an Accel DFI dual sync distributor.
The drive train is sitting in a 66’ F100, so I got a new fuel system for it and put Aeromotive fuel lines, rails on it.
On the driver side, the fuel rail hits this distributor and it won’t sit in the block, nor allow any room for adjustment.
Does anyone know if there are any compatible distributors that Holley/MSD makes that I could pigtail/wire to this Accel harness/ECU?

I can’t find the small cap distributor for sale anywhere (77201). Any help would be appreciated. Ideally was trying to get the engine fired off next weekend. I’m leaving for the military in a couple weeks and my goal was to at least hear the truck start up after 3 years of working on it. Any help is welcome!

And for the most part... it's an anomaly to find a millennial or younger who can even have a proper eye to eye discussion. Millennials and under for the most part have been programmed to be communist activists from Day Care to College.... It's really simple as that. Not really opinion but more fact ... And Drag Racing will be done once the money train of my generation and older have passed on."

People like myself, Ed and very few others on this board have spent decades learning what we know.....and y'all want that knowledge for free....and you'll take the parts for free as well."

Can you modify the end of the fuel rail? Grind it, cut off n weld up, cut off n rethread? Or use shorter injectors?

min hesitant to cut into the fuel rail because cylinder #5’s spark plug is so close to the end. Can’t seem to find shorter injectors.
I went ahead and bought an MSD distributor and going to see if I can pigtail the wiring to it.
If it fails, I’m going to either cut the more of the cap on the Accel distributor cap/base. Last option is going to go back to the stock 5.0 fuel rails and reconfigure my fuel lines/fittings.
