The 97s doesn't appear to have a vacuum hose of any sort that attaches to the FPR...

Now I'm kind of stuck o.o Will it be ok to use it on my 95 (w/ 97 engine installed)? I mean, if I install it in the same place as it was on the 97, mechanically what would stop it from working?

I suppose it works on a spring based setup, where the pressure pushes the spring to release fuel back into the tank, vs the 95s vacuum controlled FPR? Or am I missing something important here.

I don't want to work on getting this thing installed if it isn't even going to work LOL.
 
If you're putting a 97 engine into your 95, then just keep and use the 95's fuel system.

Not possible, that was all removed way back when I first got the car. I let old heads work on it back then, because I knew pretty much nothing about mechanics. They swapped the engine out to (Ironically I think it was a 97) newer engine. This cars been running without a FPR for a long time now.

Edit, Screw it. It's worked this long it will be fine a while longer. I'll just get my hands on a 95 fuel rail at some point and replace the whole deal and call it a day.
