Default Nitrous finish-up questions

Finishing up my install... its been quite a job! A lot of stuff to wire up! (I've got a bells and whistles full DynoTune kit -- Lean cut off, windowswitch, switch center, wideband, etc etc)

1. How the heck do I get the bottle opener handle off of the valve so I can install my remote opener? It seems like you just unscrew it beyond full-open, but I'm afraid of breaking something.

2. Is there a reason not to run my nitrous line through the "tunnel" where the wiper motors are, from the battery-cubby-hole to the brake/clutch-cubby-hole. It doesn't seem like it will bind up on wipers or anything, but just thought I'd ask.

3. My warmer came with its sensor in an adapter that essentially has AN on the right and left ends, and 1/8th NPT threads on sides. One of the side holes simply has a plug in it, threat-pasted in. Is there a reason I shouldn't pull this plug out to install my nitrous gauge sender there? I forgot to buy another adapter, and they're not cheap anyway.

4. Should my dual stage window switch power up, with the car ON but the engine not running (therefore, the Lean Cut Off is showing a lean condition)? Its not kicking on, though I haven't looked into it much (just thought I'd get the question in on this thread). I still have yet to go over all of my wiring, in general, as part of my big final check before filling the bottle.

5. Do you think its okay if the only think supporting my purge solenoid is a direct connection to the fitting on the adapter to my main nitrous solenoid? Seems like it'd be fine to me, its not a lot of weight, and it should be mounted in a way that would help, but meh, just thought I'd ask anyway.

6. Are you awesome for helping me out instead of telling me to search?

I'll call dyno tune tomorrow if no one has any answers tonight, but was hoping to get some of this stuff done this evening!

Thanks a ton, if you can help!

Underlined.

No.

BTW, just unscrewing the valve handle doesn't work. Theres a cap in the center of the knob, and you have to pop the cap off, and unscrew it.

I think mine was just unscrew all the way off, but I could be wrong since it has been years since I last touched it. My bad.

No worries, was mostly posting for informational reasons, and not to be corrective
