- The firewall fitting needs to point slightly down to not interfere with the heater valve.
- If you are installing electronic injection, the line from the pump goes to the left side (mirror the hole) and the return line to the right.
- Consider using a steel elbow fitting for the firewall (AN837-6 and the nut AN924-6j)
- The firewall is rather thin, therefore the fitting's rim will not end within the wall thickness, it will engage with the inside washer. Make sure you first hand tighten the nut while adjusting the washer's position to avoid that the rim sits proud of the washer.
