Anyone know what pieces are needed to add the fuel test port to the right side of the fuel pressure regulator?  I want to relocate sampling port from under the hood to the trunk where the regulator sits.

I put an AN "T" with tube nut to one side and a Jiffy-Tite quick connect from Pegasus (not sure if 3000 or 5000 series) so I can also use it to pump the tank out with the quick connect female attached to a length of fuel line to a gas can.

I believe it is a 6AN male the will screw into the spare port on the right if your FPR looks like the picture above? I also used the jiffy tite!

you will need the female as well for your hose!

 

Also...if I remember correctly...there is no flare in the FPR and these are not tapered threads...oring, crush washer, gray sealant may be necessary. Point being look close!!

I have that fitting under my hood but no connector to draw the fuel out.  I looked arond at the link from Jegs but was not able to find what I needed.  Can anyone tell me the 'female' part that I need?

Not sure what picture/link you are referring to...but this is the female to the jiffy tite 3000 series I believe(connect to a hose!)

PSA - don't use white teflon tape to seal the threads (ask me how I know).  The regulator uses an ORB-6 fitting (which requires an o-ring - you can swap the one that comes with the "plug" to the new fitting), but for the side that goes into your quick connect, permatex makes a fuel safe thread sealant.
