I appreciate all of the feedback, Awesome!
What about these two links in my original post, would either one work?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160897695359?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
or this, and placing it on a Hall Weber manifold:

The second link looks like you can take the injection off and put it straight onto a Hall Weber Manifold.
Thanks Ed
