There is no schrade valve and no rubber slip on hoses to tee into. Is there an adapter I can buy to tee into the fuel rail at the incoming line compression fitting or do I have to fabricate one? Any advise will be appreciated.   Sean Arney (Seana) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Seana Post Number: 28 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 10:41 am:    I think the valve is only on '95 or newer. My classic (88) doesn't have one, my p38 does have one Psgr side on the fuel rail as in the disco. I dont see why you couldnt make one pretty easily -seanA   Rob Davison (Nosivad_bor) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Nosivad_bor Post Number: 753 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 11:14 am:    i got a port you can splice in in place of the fuel filter. it's basically a tee with shrader valve in the middle/ you want to borrow i can mail it to you, just dont rip me off. rd   A.

Is it part of the system? LOL what haven't you done to that poor thing?   A.

Later on.   Sean Arney (Seana) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Seana Post Number: 31 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 05:12 pm:    Dude you know I am in awe of the system...I am amazed at how much ferreting around you've done on that thing! -seanA   A.

If you know of one for sale, let me know. Hate to see her get retired after all these years of faithful (but bitchy) service! Thanks.   Sean Arney (Seana) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Seana Post Number: 33 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 02:29 pm:    Hey - you are the Ali I know right? If not then sorry for crackin' your stones. If you are, then fuck off, the only thing I bought into on my classic was the brush guard and the roof rack and some tires...so if you are the notorious "Ali of the Frightening System" get a 95 p38 and you can help me disfigure mine at the same time, you freak! -seanA   A.

When are we gonna wheel that beauty of yours? I'm dying to spot you through the "crack"! Hear that Wolf bought the same thing. This is contagious or what!   Sean Arney (Seana) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Seana Post Number: 38 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 03:56 am:    Doid, Im tellin ya, the thing is tight. I can actually hear myself think and light a smoke...all with cool feet. I think you should step up, I need some technical help with this rascal...then again, it gets groceries real nicely
