Subject: 1987 Syncro-replace fuel lines

> Hey

> I'm wondering how to replace the short (2" or so) fuel lines that go from

> 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

> Anybody know the slick trick to accomplish this?
