You use a standard fitting, you can pull one off an old grill or buy a new one. If yo uwant high flow get one from a folk lift repair shop when you buy the solinoid. A nos solinoid won't flow as much as the flok lift shut off will or you can check at an RV dealer they sometimes have them also. But a forklift shop will always have them.

I wonder if the ecu is detecting no spark and turning off the injectors...

Not the way I had it layed out, the ecu/tfi triggers the coil when it grounds the negative side, then opens it to charge the coil again. I just used whats already there and in the same way they already do it.

ok i follow you. you are correct, you need to make and break the power to the coil. Constant powert to a coil doesn't make a spark.

yep.
Ever heard of a coil winding ratio? This is the number of coils in the secondary coil per coil in the primary coil. Yes, your coil is made of more than one coil. The magnetic field collapse (turning power off) in the primarily coil causes the magnetic flux to induce a voltage in the secondary coil, having more coils in the secondary increases the voltage output of the secondary coil, but decreases the amperage output, by...the coil winding ratio. A ratio of 2:1 will double voltage, but halve the amperage, most coils have a high coil winding ratio.

If you want a flame thrower SO bad, why dont you just hook up an electric fuel pump ran to a N20 fogger straight into the pipe?
That way the exhaust will push the raw fuel straight to the plus. this also bypasses messing with the motor. On newer vehicles, esspecially Efi, i wouldnt recomment touching.
By the way, you can still use cats and mufflers with this setup.

Flame throwers are dangerous no matter what setup you use.

my .02 cents.
