The schader has a valve in it like a tire does. Remove the valve and connect your fuel feed there. Does the kit seem to be complete-fittings and all?

lol...

Well the Shrader valve has NPT threads on the inside, take out the the valve or what ever it's called out... Then you need to convert thost NPT threads or to " - " fittings... So your going to need:
1 - 1/16 NPT Male TO a 1/8 NPT Female
1- 1/8 NPT Male TO a - 4 Male

i think it has all the fittings. i'm just a little confused because at the end of the fuel line theres a fuel pressure gauge and coming out of that is a fitting of somekind, is that the shrader valve adapter?

Thats where you need to tie in. If you want to keep your gauge then put in a "t" fitting.

The fuel pressure gauge is where you need to hook up your line for nitrous. You have to take off the f/p gauge, but you can hook it up somewhere else on the fuel line.

why would you hook up your nitrous to your fuel pressure gauge?
