Next you need to find the location of the old one in your car. So here that is. This is if you are standing on the passenger side of the car and looking right above the alternator.

Here is what you need. Cordless drill is not necessary but it make it easier to drive screws into the firewall.
Needed but not shown is 2FT of 1/4" fuel line and 4 hose clamps. 1FT of vacuum line and a vacuum T.

Now we need to cut the 2FT of fuel line that you bought. Make one about 13in and the other 11in.
Attach the 11in to connection "B" on the FMU the 13" goes to "C"
Use hose clamps to keep them on.
Now you can mount the FMU here. Just screw it to the firwall.

Remove the clips with your needlenose pliers and throw that line away. A minute amount of gas wil spill when you pull this line off.
Put hose clamps on the hoses from the FMU and hook hose B to point B and hose C to point C and tighten the clamps.

Install the hose you bought from the tee back to connection A on the FMU and you are done.
Put the gas cap on and turn on the key wait for the fuel pump to come up to pressure and start the car.
This is not really a necessary mod for a NA car but very necessary for turbo. It also happens to be my fix for getting the car more gas at idle so it doesnt stumble when you flip on the lights or whatever. Most of you do not notice the stumbling, but for those of us with the aftermarket engine mounts we really feel it. And with this mod the vibrations at low idle with accessories on is almost non-existent.
Good luck
