Where would i tap into the fuel line for a wet kit?

Can i use the valve opening that is used to check fuel pressure? Anything else i should know. The kit came off a 2002 Mustang GT. I got it for free. Im gonna use NGK plugs. would the TR6 work? and should i got 50 shot or 80. Thanks for the info and your help.

yeah the puel pressure valve is perfect you just need to buy a fitting that will screw down into it, only took about 5 min to do, its alot easyer than taping the fuel line.

do you know which fitting i need or where can i get it.

Just find a brass fitting with the same thread pitch and diameter and you should be set. Only catch is that you'll have to unscrew and remove the actual schraeder valve "guts" out of there so the fuel can pass through (be careful though as the fuel line will be pressurized even with the car off so relieve the pressure first!). I think you can buy a tool for doing this from a bicycle shop. The Tire guys use it to deflate you tires in a hurry when you go and get tires etc.

on the same note, becareful when you remove it, because when you go to reinstall it you can damage the seal on the lil guy your remove and fuel will leak. Or you might be able to buy just a new one. I had a hook up and he had one sitting around.

The autometer 5280 adapter converts the 1/8" female to a 1/4" female that might be the correct adapter for your nitrous. I used it for my Fuel Pressure Gauge install.

thanks guys. im installing this SAT. so i hope all goes well. Which plugs are you using? and how big of a shot?

im guessing i should go 50. with NGK TR6. does that sound like the right think to buy?

Yes or TR55's at the very least.

i personally ran the stock heat range autolites. Copper of course, and gapped them at .045 IIRC NOS recommends .035

when i taped the valve there was little to no fuel lose, with the engine off there is no fuel pressure.
