when looking at your engine, its up and to the left. just left of the intake manifold, bolted to the firewall. its a black cylinder with 2 hoses attached to the top. good luck replacing it, sometimes they don't want to come off. just be patient and don't bust the lines or anything. and make sure you relieve fuel pressure first.

anybody have a tough time with the hardline fitting? I tried doing mine before and can't even get good leverage (with flare nut wrench). Someone mentioned before using crows feet + a ratchet but I don't want to chance stripping it. Everything on my car seemed to have been bolted down with a 3/4" impact gun

oh boy, done mine yesterday, the 17mm banjo bolt was a **** to get off, the 14mm IN line was a bastard too. Just use flare nut spanners, i found my regular Flank Drives trying to ride up with the torque applied in getting them to budge.

There's also a 19mm nut on the top of the fuel filter you can get a hold of... The best way is to have a friend hold that still while you're taking the flare nut off.

Keeps it from bending that top bracket. I know thats a common issue.
