where the hell is the schrader valve?!?

Does my car even have one? My car is a 1989 camaro RS L03. I want to run nitrous but i have to tap into the scrader valve for fuel on the wet side of the kit. And I really dont see one. If there isnt one can i incorperate one in to one of the fuel lines?

No, there isnt any sort of valve to test the fuel pressure. Youll have to put a gauge in somewhere along the feed line.

yup, no shrader valve, you have to tap into a softline somewhere.

a soft line?? I was thinking of taking a schrader valve off of my S-10s line and having a welding shop weld it into place. Would that work?

if you find a shop willing to weld on your fuel line, i suggest you never go there again.. lol.


with nitrous systems, i always reccomend a stand alone system, but other then that, just cut the fuel line somewhere and put a Tee in.


if you do it in the metal line, you can flare it and use all hard line...

if you do it in the soft flex line, you can just use nipples and hose clamps.
