So I guess the short answer is to use snap on adapters to the existing hard lines or tig weld to the fuel rail.

Since tig welding is out, whats the minimum length hard line I should leave? I'd like to leave it as short as I can so the push locks will hide as much if it as possible in an attempt to look clean by hiding all the hard line. Is this possible?

Well, that's what I was wanting to see. I really appreciate the pics. Can anyone tell me what size tap is needed? It looks relatively straight forward as far doing it is concerned. Twin 540, I thank you so much for the help so far.

No luck on the part #. Measure the fuel rail. I think it's 7/8 on 20 thread.
