Are you using the curved neck TB? IIRC the IAC locations are not the same on the kl47 TB and that is the one you will need. As for the fule lines, what are they coming into contact with? You can bend them slightly, but you have to be carefull not to crimp it. Maybe provide some pictures or more details?

Use the K8 solid fuel lines that are attached to the engine. They are much shorter and will give you more rubber hose allowing you to clear it.
You do need to use the curved neck TB as stated above as the IACs are different and it will not idle correctly with a different IAC on the car (if you are using a curved neck ECU that is).

thanks solo and pat i did some research after what you said and i noticed the KL47 tb the IAC comes out the other side compared to the kl31 i was trying to fit.i will try to find a kl47 tb.
now pat what you said about the ecu. what ecu do i need. i was under the impression that i could use a probe ECU and then probinator chip it. is that not the case? i need a special curved neck ECU (im assuming out of a 95+ millinia)? if so can i still probintaor chip it.? also will i beable to find an MTX ECU for a millenia? if not will that matter? sorry for all the dumb questions
