On the underside of the cargo compartment floor to the left of the 
engine. There are 3 holes there. You need the screws with the special 
rubber mounting grommets and brass washers.

Both pumps used the same Tee. You can buy at tee at a hardware store 
or FLAPS.

I hold the injectors gently in soft jaws in a vice and CAREFULLY cut 
the crimp sleeve off. Don't cut much more than JUST into the rubber 
or you will ruin the hose barb that is underneath.

30W or 10W-30. If it's really hot where you are use 10W-40 or 15W-40 
or 20W-40. Use whatever is cheap, as long as it meats the latest 
standards. Look for the little circle that says "SG-SH". The "S" 
stands for Spark and these started out in the late 60s at SA. The 
later specs always supercede the earlier ones, so later letters are 
better.

The BIG one goes onto the big stud that is AWAY from the starter. The 
medium red one coming from the front goes to the push on that is NOT 
connected to the big stud. Any red one coming from the rear may vary. 
Depends on the year.

There is NO ground wire, but there may be a white wire that connects 
to the same terminal as the medium red wire from the front.

It really pays to look at these things when you take them apart. I 
often make myself a map of things that I am not totally familiar 
with. This is a lot easier than making a fool of myslef later.  ;-)
