Glad you mentioned that, I'd forgotten about those. Those pieces were in good shape, but the connecting hose looked like a bloated radiator hose I once had on a Ford with a crack at the most stretched section. I was out in CA at the time and they'd just changed the gas formulation(anti-smog stuff). Lost all 4 injectors to leaks about the same time. Figured whatever they put in the gas, it was eating the o-rings and hose. On Wed, 21 Oct 1998 19:16:39 -0600, you wrote: > >There is a "secret" part at this connection.
