Still trying to chase down a vacuum leak.
After getting a new gasket(s, actually) from FLAPS, removed the first
of the intake assemblies, left side.

Probably didn't need the new gasket - those things look tough,
although the former space suit technician in me wonders how a block
of rubber like that with hard faces can seal at all.

Wheedled the entire intake/injector assembly out to where I can see it.
The edge of the seal where the injector goes into the intake manifold
looks cracked.

Could this also be a vacuum leak?
Probably a good idea to replace the seals while I'm this deep (and
likely to go deeper).
How?
Bentley says " - remove injectors in pairs..." and that's it.

Will I need the large and small seals?
Anyone got part numbers, so I can ask my FLAPS?

I'm on the digest version of the list, so a cc'ed reply to me would
be appreciated.
