He did not state what combination it was to be used on Joe...was only making an inquiry.

He wants to use it on a Carb SS application.

OK went back and reread, it does state for SS application, though no mention of injected or carb. Now as far as the fuel sample at the fuel tank goes I can only give my personal experience with that. I had switched from my EFI set up back to my carb for a race, in doing so I failed to transfer my sample valve to my carb regulator. Of course I didn't realise this till I made my first qualifying pass, when I saw it I mentioned to the tech folks they said they would send someone over and observe me taking a sample from the cell. Did that went directly back to my trailer and put my sample valve on. guess what I'm saying is yes you could maybe do it that way but wonder how long before the tech guys tired of the extra effort on their part.

What extra effort Joe? I have never seen tech standing over anyone's shoulder as they drew a fuel sample. The rulebook does not stipulate which end of the car the sample is to be drawn from...only between the cell and the carb or whatever you are using. Like I stated earlier, most late model cars have no external provision for opening the hood...the key is always in the trunk lock of my car. What could be easier than turning a valve at the bottom of a cell? I doubt tech gives a red rodent's rectum how you get the fuel out...you pointing it out earlier only confused them. No doubt it will be easier to access under the hood on some cars if the cell is mounted directly to the trunk floor as it is in our Camaro, but I'm saying it isn't necessarily the only option.
