Default Upgraded Fuel System!!! Help

just got a set of f.a.s.t. fuel rails and their install/conversion kit.

it came with one line that makes sense which will connect both rails together. it has -8 fittings and will connect the back of the rails. what i dont have is info and what connects the stock fuel line to the new rail.

I called comp the maker of f.a.s.t. products and they are no help. comp replied saying that the conversion adapter and line was included. i told them it was not. all i got was one line a fp gague and some fittings. comp gave me attitude and said the girl that backed it said it was in there. i replied that the sounds great but it is not! they said they are going to build another kit and weigh it to see if it matches the weight of was shipped to me. on top of that they dont even seem to know their own product when i ask tech questions...

can someone please post pictures of their set up from the stock line with the conversion adapter on it to where it feeds on your rail.

i also heard you need to trim the back of the firewall where the cross over line goes so it can fit. is this true?

why cant i leave s%$t stock

thanks

Yep, I had to make a hole in the upper firewall on the driver's side to fit my fuel rail.

The company Pure Choice makes an adapter that connects to the factory fuel line and has a -6an fitting on the other end. You will need to get a -6an to -8an union adapter to hook up the fuel rails to the Pure Choice adapter. I myself replaced out the factory line with -8an braided line.
