I had to cut my plastic on the back of the altenator to clear the oil fill neck off the valve cover. I also had use a bolt to attach the power wire to the back of the altenator, instead of using the stud and nut to attach the wire. GL mate

On ZAngel's car, we ran the X-over in the back, and simply put the pipe plug behind the alternator. the fuel feed comes in the front of the driver's side rail with a 180 degree hose end, a short section of line, then a 90 degree hose end. Then we have a quick-connect adapter connecting to the factory soft line..

got it on the delete part! i took the one i made in fueling and moving into this one~!

soon as i got that new fitting it worked perfect it was a lil tight i had to trim some of the plastic away from the back of the altinator.

any chance of getting one of those brackets you fabed up for z angle or a cardboard template? i like that alot better then the one from tti

sinister - good deal on the threads, and thank you I don't have any templates on the alternator bracket, I kinda cobbled it together in the garage in an hour or two I'm sure I could draw them out for you guys to duplicate though, once we get back from Power Tour.

69firebird - MS has been running the car since it first fired up with the turbo, and has been doing great! We have basically been tuning it on the Power Tour - in fact, with me at the wheel and Tiff tuning, we pretty much have all the tuning in boost done that we can do on pump gas.

oange ss - The adapter is a custom piece from Nitrous Express. Try PM'ing NXRICKY on the site here, he can get you pointed in the right direction - its his design
