That's probably the problem I've been getting the dorman multi pack standard o rings and metrics and none of them solved my problem they probably aren't fuel rated.

Ah well I've used both. The blacks seem to cut out in a couple days and I need to replace them the orange ones lasted longer but would still stop working and I would have to push on the fuel line to start it. What could that be?

4 hole pintle spray. Helps atomize the fuel. Better throttle response. Some claim better mpg but I gained a .5 improvement with mustang injectors.

Any input on using permanent Loc-tite to hold a nut to a broken bolt so I can remove it? I don't have access to a welder.

It's the rearmost valve cover bolt by the firewall. Not much room for grips.
