Ok, I'm getting it here. I just realized that the block-off plate is not
only slightly eccentric, but one of the holes on the plate  is more of
an adjustable slide, like so:

So, it probably ought to cover the port in question then.

Hmm, Good call. Really, I'd use the injectors as a last resort as
possible replacements for any that might be really bad.

What would be a good way to conduct a leakdown test on the injectors?
Stick 'em in mason jars while hooked up to the fuel loop and pressurize
the line?
