Do not use 1/4" line!!!!!!  Be sure to get the right metric stuff which i
believe is 7mm............1/4" appears to fit when you clamp it but as it
ages you will have loose connections..........i have repaired this on many
vans.

Hello from Atlanta, Ga.  Before you reinstall the injectors, be sure to
replace the fuel  hose on them and use new seals.   New injectors with new
fuel line attached purchased from FLAPS are usually about  $50.00. Replace
all rubber fuel lines in engine compartment with new properly rated hose and
new clamps. Before installing any wiring,  carefully wipe off the wiring
harnesses with Simple Green or some good cleaner to see if any wires are
nicked and repair as needed.  Wire brush off the grounding connectors to
remove corrosion and thus insure good grounds.  Clean all wire terminals on
wires and relays, and make sure slide terminals are tight and not cracked.
Hope this helps!!
