check the ends of you hard lines, they might be cracked. do you have the 3 or 4 clamps that hold the lines together?

should have clamps like this motor does. those clamps have to be there or the engine vibrations will crack the hard lines.

Yeah those clamps are there. It looks like the base of the injector is leaking. I ordered the Injector set and installation kit it should be here tomorrow so I can get back on the road.

I installed the injectors today and the return line caps in the install kit i bought but there are no three way tees in this kit.... anyone else have this problem? Did I somehow get the wrong kit?

three way tee? should not have any 3 way tees.



go back and look at the picture i posted. u can see the treturn line routing there.

from fule filter to number on on pass side. then straight back to the last cyl and over to main. then same down drivers side.
