Tim,
That's one of the problems, you've got tech inspectors making up the rules for what you have to have for a test port. There's nothing in the GCR or FasTrack that says it has to be outside the engine bay. They say it's a good idea, but not a requirement. I was told by Basil that that's why the dry-break language is in the recent FasTrack, because some tech inspectors were requiring them.
I had a tech inspector point to the fuel distributor on my car and look right at me and ask my if that was my fuel sample port, all the while, nodding his head up and down.
What's even crazier about the language in the latest FasTrack, is that it says if you have factory fuel pressure test equipment, you don't need a factory test port, or a seperate sample port.
Denver didn't think this whole thing through very well. If people want to cheat w/ fuel, they will find a way. The only way to insure that you're getting the fuel that the engine sees, is to take it out of the cell/tank, or take it from the line that runs to the carb/fuel dist./fuel rail (or downstream of those things).
And as far as removing the line from the fuel distributor not being a nice schrader valve or some other such arrangement, it's what the factory manual says to do, so therefore, it's the factory fuel pressure test port!
And Tim, I'm sure your setup is fine, but I don't like the idea of a lose fuel line in the engine bay that can be dislodge in the event of a crash. Yeah, I know that you could rip off an injector line, but all that stuff is kind of connected to the motor, and moves w/ the motor. Yours is anchored to a fixed point (stress bar).
