The bracket bolts were a little loose, but nothing extreme. I replaced the water pump about 6 months ago, so I have a good idea as to whats bolted where and I'm pretty sure I got everything tightened down. There is no play in the alternator or fully bracket with the engine off, and only rattles...

I recently developed a gnarly under-hood rattle when my 91 is put into drive or reverse. I was able to get under the hood with my kid standing on the brake and observed the alternator shaking like crazy. I pulled the fan and WP pulley and tightened every bolt that even had the appearance of...

thanks, I've spent half the day looking for a 22mm crows foot and the other half trying to psych myself out to crawl into the engine again to get to that ridiculously fuel line. I'm definitely going to try to take care of it without pulling the intake off again.

thanks jonheld. i knew it was one of three variations starting with damp. I noticed a small cut out machined into the fuel rail and figured the bottom gasket would just naturally fit. I'll have to pull it and see how its lining up although the cutout did seem a bit larger than the washer itself...

I recently noticed a pretty bad leak at the rear pulsation dampener on the fuel rail of my 91 3fe. After a fuel system tear down and rebuild i finally got everything back together. the dampener was replaced along with new factory crush gaskets. Upon start up, the damn thing started leaking gas...

I know a lot of people use RC Injection out of torrance CA. I found a place closer to me called Rob Stark (not that Robb Stark) who does fuel injection for old corvettes. i think for a flow test, bench, and sonic clean it should be ok. I ordered new pintle caps, O-rings, and fuel pulse regulator...

This is my first car with fuel injection so this has definitely an adventure. After further searching i found out they are called the pintle caps. Half of them were melted and the other half broken. ordered new ones and will have the injectors inspected by Rob Stark in Rancho. also had a gnarly...

I will definitely need pintle caps. mine were all cracked or melted.

I just pulled my injectors out today and ran into the same problem. The black spacers look ok but the cylinder that goes around the actual injectors were all cracked or broken. Did anyone get back to you to advise you what you need?

pulled the injectors for cleaning and service today and noticed some of the sleeves that are on the injector are cracked or melted. The spacers are all in good condition. Are these sleeves necessary to the injector? Haven't been able to find any thing else on these. thanks

This is my first real tech question on here so please take it easy!!! i recently sprung a leak on the rear fuel line into the rail on my new (to me) 91LC. I have had plenty of experience on older American V8s and inline 6s, this is my first smogged/ EFI motor ever. After literally climbing into...

This is my first post so I thought this would be the place to start. After over a year of shopping, ran across a 91 LC in South Central LA. After a quick test drive and a thorough background check, I bought her for $1500 (!!!!!!). Super excited to get into the game!!! I hope to learn a lot about...
