Forgot to mention in my last post to check the steel retaining ring/clamp on
the end of the plastic fuel rails.
Mine rusted off and blew out once - fortunately no fire
But what a PITA to jerry rig that thing in a parking lot at 4am
Can't remember where I got the replacement, but it wasn't easy to find
either
Good luck!
