Fuel line question I'm going to be running an NOS plate w/ NX solenoids. The fuel line from the rail (to the solenoid), has a wrong end on it, one is smaller than the other.
Can I change the fitting going into the NX noid or should I just get a new line? If I get a new line, does it have to be any certain length?
Thanks!

You want the fuel line to be as short as practible. The Fuel Rail is a -4AN male end. I used a -4 AN Swivel to come off mine.
Any of the nitrous Venders (Dynotune, HSW, Nitrous Outlet) can make ya a custom length hose and set you up with the fittings for a nice clean install.

I highly suggest not replacing just the fitting. The orifice size difference between the 3AN and the 4AN fittings is significant and depending on the size shot you are running could lead to fuel supply issues.

I guess I had read the post to fast and didn't realize you were talking about the Fuel feed for the system I'm very sorry about that. If it was the line going from the noid to the plate you'd be fine just changing the fitting.
Are you using the lines that came with the NOS kit or did the lines come from another system?
The reason I ask the NOS kit comes with -4 x -4 for the fuel feed for that plate system and 2 SHO hoses to attach to the plate.
We also can build you an custom length hose that you need?

I bought just the NOS plate conversion. (plate, feed lines that go from the noids to the plate & jets)
The line I'm talking about goes from the rail to the solenoid, it is from a NX- Ford EFI nozzle kit that I bought & never put on my Mustang.
Thanks for all of the help everyone!
