Im not sure on what size the supply line is, I just bought the kit from Trick Performance, and the first 90* from the line comes with the kit, and the brass one I bought from a local parts store, its just regular 1/8" pipe fittings.

Is the brass fitting the one shown in the 2nd pic? And is that in the oil pan? Sorry for bothering, just ordered my trick oil kit and trying to figure everything out.

Yes and yes, it's right above the oil filter on the side of the pan.

I actually gutted out the factory stereo and used the body of a CB radio for the face

Well I got the beast running last night!!! Got a small water leak by the thermostat and a small leak by the PS pump fitting, otherwise sounds good. But the big problem I ran into is fueling, I had the tune set at 108# injectors, which is what mine are @ 58psi, and I fired it up and it would run for about 2 seconds and die. I finally got it to run long enough to where my wideband heater warmed up and the AFR was peaked out at 17 AFR, so I moved my injector flow rate down to 95# and it idled real good but AFR was still peaked at 17 AFR and if you'd hit the throttle a little it would just want to die. I'm gonna put a fuel pressure gauge on tonight after work and see if mabe the stock FPR is shot... IDK what else it could be?? Ideas??
