Default nitrous fuel plumbing

I am going to be installing my nitrous kit soon and I need some help with the fuel part. Im pretty sure I run the fuel line from the back of my fuel rails, there is a fuel pressure valve that is capped off. Do I need to remove just the cap and then run the fuel line to the solenoid or is there a valve or something else that I need to remove besides removing the cap?
Thanks,
Matt

Yeah I think you have the right idea. It just runs from the Schrader valve and I believe you've found it. Just screw down the fitting on that bad boy and run the line to your solenoid and you're all set. I put a mechanical gauge in between the solenoid and the line for reference. Pretty handy, just thought you'd like to know. I used an adaptor from NOS. Just make sure you get the sizes right and tell someone at Summit or Jeg's and they can order you one.

Take the cap off and remove the schrader valve!! If you don't you will not have any fuel in that wet kit and it'll equal kaboom.--- be sure to remove the shrader valve before you put a line on it.

just like they said above. before testing your kit on the road test to make sure everything is spraying by holding the fogger in the air and firing the kit. test it out on the smallest shot to be on the safe side. have fun, nitrous is addicting
