The antenna is on the same side, but the wipers are on the opposite side.

Antenna is in the same spot but the wipers work in the opposite manner; they sweep up & to the right
Josh - No worries on the long post(s)!! How do you think we learned? It's part of the fun of it. Plus it's fun to read things with my best (bad) Aussie accent!! LOL!!

OK, for reference, "Driver's side" & "Passenger's side" are U.S. reference, so they will be opposite for Josh. And yes, my engine is dirty...
Port & line on passenger's side head (Josh's driver's side)
This one wasn't bad; it's at the front of the engine. Obviously some accessories are in the way on my engine which made getting the plug out a bit interesting, but not too bad.
Port & line on driver's side head (Josh's passenger's side)
This one is obviously at the back of the head. Unless you use a mirror, you won't really see it. Just take your time with the fitting and getting it in there.
View of the junction
The fuel line is cut and about 1"/2.5cm of length is removed from the line. The passenger's side line runs across the engine, while the driver's side line runs under the intake tube but almost directly forward.
It wasn't hard to do, but cutting the fuel line is the "point of no return" on this mod. No worries though, if you get it loose to where you can pull it up, there's plenty of room to work on it with a small tubing cutter.
Just remember 2 things:
1. Drain the fuel bowl to relieve fuel pressure.
2. Do this on a cool engine
I'll see if I can scare up my installation instructions and get them in to an electronic form. It may help you with sourcing parts.

Yeah, I know about the up-pipe leak. Today was 62* here, but yesterday was 40*-ish, and tomorrow and the rest of the weekend will barely top 40* as well so it's been a bit too chilly for that job. it's getting close though.
Sidenote: So while poking around DFA's website to get the link for their CCK page, I notice the banner at the top:
"Specializing in 7.3 Performance" .... and right next to it is a 6.0... though it does also say "Powerstroke Vegetable Fuel Oil Systems"... but if you specialize in 7.3s, I'd think a pic of a 7.3 would be more appropriate. Ehhh.. whatever.

For the wipers, I was referring to the opposite sweep.
If you brought one of these back to the states, you can have a PSD mail delivery truck!

I tried for over a month to order his new RR kit for around $700 from DFA..I finally got an answer here from him in a thread that was around here....here is what he had to say

Ron- Got your email and that was on my short list for emails to return. But sounds like I don't need to worry about it now. Amazing the change when going from a basic gearhead to a business owner, Not to make excuses, but it is a whole different world. It is always a choice of how to use my time- And sometimes it boils down to helping existing customers, or helping potential customers, And of course we want to make sure that existing customers are helped first, then on to new customers that haven't given us their money yet.
.. I cant see how you make money that way..I ended up going with a RR kit from another source..don't waste your time with him..build your own kit or just spend on a RR...

The kit is inexpensive enough to make it worth buying instead of sourcing your own parts, IMHO -- I also put it on my truck. It was a relatively simple install, until I rounded off the bold that holds the belt tensioner on. That little booger was REALLY tough to get in the passenger-side head (US-style!!) with the pullies in place!! It got it though, and it's a good mod.
HOWEVER, you're talking about that knock -- unless you change out the LL injector, you'll still have the ball-pein-on-the-block sound. It drives me crazy to this day, but it will be academic when the other sticks go in anyway....

im not to sure if i should go with modified sticks would this give me to much power for a PMR engine, i assum that is what i have, i think i'll have to take that plug out next time i change the oil fillter and check for myself,or match up the numbers...

It took me a while to find the picture, but here is the basic diagram of what you need to do to make the system.
Here is a LINK to the rest of the album.
I basically made it from NPT fittings and fuel injection rated fuel line.
