where to hook up for "fuel source"?

can anyone tell me how that factory apiller cover is hooked on? i hate to just start prying without knowing how the clips are in there...

does anyone happen to have a picture they could show me of where to hook into the fuel source? im assuming the vp44?? but i have no idea where...i have read over these instructions and cant find anywhere where it says....

I used fittings from vulcan performance to T the fuel line between the fuel filter and the vp44. There are tapped bango bolts availible for your fuel filter which can be used or there's a test post on the vp44 which can be used through a shrader valve fitting.

I'm not sure how much of my a pillar is factory, but theres two spring clips- one 1/2 way up, one 3/4 of the way up and there's a peice of plastic tubing on the top for alignment. I took it off just yesterday and it just took one good yank.

Just yank on the pillar from the top - it will come

I prefer to not use the VP-44 test port because it ties up the test port the following pics are for 00, 01, and 02 installs.

If any of this is unclear, PM me your email address for a little more explanation.

One thing I am not sure if any one else has mentioned yet is as far as pulsing goes your less apt to have any pulses if you use rubber lines its the metal lines that seem to resonate worse. I have my needle valve if I remember wide open and have yet to have to snub it down to stop the pulses.

You could have tapped your current Banjo bolt....

Its a good idea to run your 1/8" tubing through some 1/4" tubing for abrasion resistance.

MX you get every thing ricked away? on finding the last part you needed? If so how good is your fuel psi One this this past two weeks I have leard is a slipping clutch does wonders for keepin your fuel psi up as it dont load the motor as much but thats a whole new can of worms
