so is the line in my hand a return line and if it is do i still use the corvette filter i have.

No, that is the evap line. If you don't need to pass emissions, you can remove it and plug the evap sensor. You will only need a feed line to that rail, and you will need the Vette F/R. The one silver connection down on the rail in the background of the pic is the fuel feed.

hey been trying to send you messages on those djm springs??? do you still have them?

bigdnew · 02-08-2012, 12:51 PM

So, its been almost two years. My former employee backed out of our deal and I now have my truck back. I'm not sure but I believe he locked the engine up. It has never been on the road but was running. I spent alot of money on this truck and it is now sitting at my parents house in Midlothian, Texas.
