Reply to "IR injection maintenance"

Bosswrench, thanks for the tip. I inquired where I bought the O-rings and they were good for oil, diesel, but not fuel, so I sourced out some Viton O-rings and installed them.

I'm happy to report PARTIAL SUCCESS!

I got the fuel rail back together with new O-rings, actually got it all reinstalled by my lonesome, and after cycling the fuel pump 5 or 6 times, and checking pressure, my fuel system is back together, and leak-free!

The only thing holding me up now is the throttle cable. That I sent off to "Control Cables", they should get it today or tomorrow, they said 1-2 day turnaround.

All that's left after the throttle cable is putting things back on like the air cleaners, one velocity stack, seats, firewall and engine cover. It's a couple hours of work, but when I'm done, my car should be good to go!

I'm looking forward to actually driving my car.

Chuck told me "owning a Pantera is a love/hate relationship". I truly know what he meant by that now, but MAN, when the car IS running, and you're stinking everyone up at intersections, and getting "thumbs-up" all the time, and not to forget the huge horsepower, THAT, I LOVE.

Fixing stupid sh!t, chasing electrical probs, the car being nearly impossible to work on certain things, those things I hate.

In the end though, I'm looking forward to getting back in my car and getting a little sideways, punish her a little for giving me such a hard time.
