alright i have some mystery plate here that i would like to install, i have been looking at it and it seems theres some fuel line that runs right over the break off screw, so how do i get to this thing, if anyone has a good writeup on it let me know

also i have some 215 injectors can anyone give me a writeup on installing injectors

heres a pic of the plate, tell me what you think

thanks guys

 

You can just loosen up the fuel line where it connects to the driver's side of the injection pump and it'll move outta the way.

Injectors are pretty easy you'll need a slide hammer or something like that to pull em out. Make sure you clean the holes out good with a brush and I use anti-seize on the injector bodies when I go back together. There is a small check ball on the side of the injector body, make sure that is lined up with the slot in the hole or it will damage the injectors. I also take the injector lines all the way off to make it easier but you can leave them on and still get it done.

 

is it a bitch to reprime the whole fuel system?

 

Not really, I've got a sawed off broom handle I use to push the primer button on the lift pump. Hit it 15 or so times and then see if it'll fire. Sometimes it takes a second round to get it to fire. Then ya do the #1 delivery valve and your done.

 

what just crack the line on the #1 once its started?

 

No you leave it cracked until it fires, you don't tighten it down until a good stream of fuel is shooting out. That'll bleed the system out.

 

alright, also what do you guys think about the profile of that plate. good, bad ugly??

 

i used the correct tool "coal" chisel LOL and taped the side of the screw till i could turn it out wit my fingers... came out pretty easy..

i did take off the separator for the injector lines to make a easy install for the new screw. i could fit a screw driver in there alot easier

 

alright the plates in, put it where the stock one was, slid the afc housing forward. runs pretty good now, smokes good, one thing what size is the break off screw cause i need to get a bolt to replace that

 

i dunno... i used a dremmel and made a slot in mine so i can use a flat head screw driver. i just moved it to a better location so if i had to use other means to remove it i could
