Default FPR NUT KIT???

I found all the parts to replace the FPR except the nut kit?
What is it and can I get by without it or a substitute?
I have to fix it this Saturday.

You can try, but many have tried to only have leaks later. To have it by tomorrow... Well, you are probably out of luck... The only place that may have it in that short of notice would be the dealership, but I doubt that the parts department will be open on a Saturday. They aren't near me at all...

You can call around to local parts stores and ask if they have part number 55163. It is made by HELP! / Dorman Products. Some might have it in stock, some might be able to get it that day.
I would replace it if you can get it.
Good Luck.

Ok, I took it apart this morning and there was fuel pooled on both sides of the intake, much worse on passenger side, I will need to replace the nut kit but it wont be here for a week so I replaced the FPR and gasgets and put it back together, it runs much better and more power but I can tell it is still loosing pressure, I will do it again next week to replace the nut kit.
This job was way easier than I thought it would be, I did it on the street in1 hour and 45 min. and I'm not a mechanic.
The Forum is very helpful, Thank You!

Where are you getting it from? Most places can have it next day. Advance and Autozone can get it next day around here.

You will also want to change your oil. If you have pools of fuel, chances are it drained down to the oil pan as well.

I found it at napa, AZ doesnt stock it, I could drive around but I will have to wait for next weekend to fix it anyway.
Ill try the old light the dipstickwith a bic lighterto see if there is fuel in the oil before I drive it monday, I would hate to wash out a berring, I did just change it two weeks ago but I have driven 1000 miles since then.
Thanks for the tips guys!!!
Seems like I have a radiator leak, is itbetter to have it repaired or replaced, any idea what one would cost?

If you had puddles of fuel in your intake manifold, then you definitely have fuel in your oil. I wouldn't even run it without changing the oil!!
