Subject:1987 Syncro-replace fuel lines
From:Raymond Paquette

Hey

I'm wondering how to replace the short (2" or so) fuel lines that go from
each injector to the fuel manifold (or whatever you call it).  They have a
typical clamp on the end away from the injector, but appear to have some
kind of crimp clamp at the injector end.  My FLAPS says that you can't
replace the lines, but instead have to buy new injectors.

I don't really want to buy new injectors just in order to replace the fuel
lines.

Anybody know of some reason I can't cut the crimp clamps, replace the lines
and reinstall with regular fuel line clamps?  FLAPS guy says he's never
known anyone to do this successfully.

Anybody know the slick trick to accomplish this?

Also, what kind of pressure is the fuel under at this point?

I look forward to being further educated.

Raymond
