You must have the NOS line feeding into the washer filler and not the gas tank filler. Swap and see if it's any better.

All the NOS pics I see have the can on the inside.
Throw it in the back seat and open up the valve and your good to go!

Flint ignition, thats a good one! I actually saw an add for one of thouse oversized wings they put on jap imports that said "will give about 50hp", impressive how increasing the air restistence of the body can add power?

Your setup looks fine, I run mine just like that and the butt dyno says I increased fuel mileage and hp.

your problem is that you need to use nitrous, not nitous



you might also try this alternative installation:

Why would you toss off with a sandpaper glove? Even I could deduce that would require a particular set of perversions not common among folks.

You may have received one from a bad batch. Mine is set up the same exact way and works perfectly fine.

Exchange it for a new one.

Here's another "true" story. A friend of mine who is a mechanic had a customer come in with brake problems. The customer started having problems after he topped up his brake fluid with some new expensive brake fluid made by "ATF"!?!
This actually happened.

What's wrong with using ATF break fluid?

Position the bottle in the center of the hood. Dust the tape and bottle with a couple of light coats of 22 Line and it will appear to be a hood scoop.

Yes, the paint job appears not to have "Orange Peel" but the whole fruit.
