Default TNT headaches continue

Okay, I have the conversion. Its wired and the selinoids are clicking. Tested it with NOS bottle open. Works.
Now I have to hook up the fuel. Bought a TNT fuel manifold so I could use the Fuel Pressure Safety Switch I had with my NOS kit. Well, you have to take the fittings off the switch so you can tap it into the manifold....CRAP! I tried to break those threads loose and rolled the fitting over round. So now what? I check Summit Catalog for a new FPSS. They have one put in the pic, it doesnt have the adapter to tap the manifold. So now I am faced with not running a FPSS. That's bad. The "what ifs" are scaring me. Any advice or a part number for a new FPSS that has the proper fitting for the manifold. And TNT, you are on my list for not answering my emails.
Any advice on how to put in my NOS purge. Cant possible hook it up by the N2O selinoid. Not enough room. Ouch my head hurts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

The so called FPSS, which is just a cheap Hobbs switch IS JUNK!! Get rid of it! Hook up an A/F meter from one of the O2's...MUCH more reliable!

dont know why you all say they are junk, ive never had a problem with them.

personally, i would rather know the fuel pressure is low, before you spray lean enough to get the stock o2's to run lean.

I have LS1 edit, and an adjusted A/F meter. Screw it. I have 1 wire that runs from the WOT switch and one that hooks to ground on one terminal of the FPSS. Plus the other wire that grounds out the selinoids on the other. As far as I know, I could just tie all three together right? Just have to keep one eye on the A/F meter when making a run....shift light flashes, and all I do is watch the road. So no big deal to keep one eye on the pod for red lights.

I have the A/F meter with automatic Nitrous cutoff if it gets too lean. Well worth the 159.00 and no FPSS. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Yeah if you have one please gimp. I'm getting ready to walk out to the garage and finish this thing. Just have to bypass the FPSS. Put in the fuel supply line to the selinoid.
I will get the purge on. I have some extra aeroquip line. A pic would be helpful. Thanks again Gimp. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
