What gaskets did you use where the intake runners go on the heads?? I hope not the metal ones that came in the gasket set?? If so, you might as well start tearing it back apart. The metal ones are for the Type 1 only. The FI engines take the 3/16" thick plastic type gasket. > BTW, I have to find new electrical connectors that I can use to replace the > little tiny ones in the fuel injector plugs...Am I going to have a hard > time finding them, or are they available at a radio shack?
