Plenum Pull What all do I Need?
OK I plan to pull the plenum and put in new injectors, coil packs, and plug wires. What all do I need to complete the job and what else should I look for while under there? I have been reading the Solutions page but just not sure if I missed anything and need to know where are the (best) places to get everything. I'm coming up with injectors,(RC which ones?) coil packs,(?) wires (on Ebay) and Jerry's gaskets (which set?), is it possible to get this stuff before next weekend? On a side note I am planning on pulling everything again next winter to get the IH, cam covers and plenum powdercoated so if I could get the right set of gaskets for all of it now I would like to. I just want to get the right stuff the first time as not to hold up the show. I tried to reply to my other thread but everytime I log in to do it, it says I entered a wrong password. Thanks guys!

Re: Plenum Pull What all do I Need?
the standard thickness plenum gaskets from jerry worked fine for me (twice, lol).
I used my spark plug wires again due to low mileage- I figure I will use them up rather than "collect" them in a zip lock baggie to never be used again. The best price on new injectors (and rebuilt) are here- http://fuelinjectorconnection.com/sh...ewCat&catId=68 You might want to get the special primary inj o-rings from Jerry's as well, but the rest of the o-rings come with the new injectors. Honestly, I considered reusing my 20 year old primary seals- they seemed fine. -probably should spend the extra $2 and get the fuel rail o-ring for the gas line. -the regular old style green antifreeze from Autozone and several cans of brake cleaner might be a good idea. |

Re: Plenum Pull What all do I Need?
My recommendation:
Injectors,Jon at FIC http://fuelinjectorconnection.com/sh...&productId=164 Coils Coils are readily available at local Autozone type stores and have shown to be good replacement quality. Plug Wires http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...27d5cc2c2ae641 Gaskets & Seals I suggest that you buy the following for the work that you want to do. Phase I (immediate work) 1. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...&products_id=7 2. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...roducts_id=384 3. Use 2 of these for the fuel block connection, save the rest for the 2nd phase of your planned work. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...roducts_id=388 Phase II (later work) 1. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...roducts_id=469 2. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...&products_id=7 3. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...products_id=10 4. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...&products_id=9 5. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...products_id=11 6. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...products_id=26 7. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...products_id=30 8. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...roducts_id=565 9. http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...products_id=24 Contact me if I can be of assistance. Everything is in stock & shipped USPS Priority Mail. Lower 48 domestic orders usually take 2-3 days from order to delivery.

Re: Plenum Pull What all do I Need?
I know Jerry posted this number for the FIC injectors and it says to specify the year of the car but I don't see anywhere on the order to do it. Are all the years the same as far as the injectors go?

Ben I plan to take lots of pics while I do the pull just for my own lousy memory.
