While disassembling the fuel injector clusters at the end of each intake manifold, I noticed that on the left-hand side someone had "modified" the fuel injectors. I know if the braided line at the top starts to crack you can get away with trimming a little off and just re-clamping it. I did that to the ones on cyls 1 & 2 when reassembling them. When I got to 3 & 4 though, someone had completely removed the bracket that holds the braided fuel line, as well as the fuel line itself and had clamped on reinforced rubber fuel line to both injectors. Obviously, I don't want to mess around with the fuel system. If this is safe to do, I'll just replace the rubber fuel line with German braided fuel line and reclamp it. If it's not safe, I have a couple NOS Bosch injectors I got cheap off Ebay a while back... Thanks again for all the help...
