yup, it's a 4an size and you have to remove the valve first. Go to walmart or your local autoparts strore and get a $2 valve stem removal tool and it comes right out. Here is an illustration, courtesy of Shbox:

Yup, weird size I know, but at least you have it there to tap into. FWIW - Be real careful when tightening down the hose on the valve as the base of the valve at the rail is weak and can crack easily. I have a FP guage mounted on mine and recently over tightened it and didn't realize I cracked the base. Needless to say I drove it for 10-15 miles and kept smelling gas, and parked it to find fuel puddled under the car. It's a miracle I didn't set it on fire.
