Any reason why you picked the passenger side over the driver side?

Mine pumped fuel onto the headers and it didn't ignite. Heat and open flame will ignite things differently (think spark plug vs compression ignition). Its possible, I suppose. I chose the passenger side because my brake stuff all runs the driver side and I wanted space for a chute cable and other stuff on that side.

This is a unfortunately common problem with old-design Quick-connect fittings, as the only thing retaining the fitting is the "clip" on the inside. If you re-used stock fittings, its worth buying a new internal clip because they fatigue very quicky (especially when being removed without a quick disconnect tool). The Earls and Holley fittings that used the old-style connection fail in the same manner, if not worse. The best option is a quick connect fitting with a positive retention (like the screw-on endplate the new fittings have, or like the ones you posted in the link).

Since the frame is a channel, most folks run it inside so its out of the way. On the outside of the rail, you'd have a fairly visible set of lines and a filter. Mechanically thats fine, just not really visually appealing.
