More specifically, change the short rubber hose line behind the right-side firewall, and replace the plastic fitting on the firewall with a grommet and barbed brass adaptor. That short section of rubber hose is connected to the plastic fitting on the firewall and the plastic line coming from the pump. The rubber hose is out of sight, many owners don't even know it's there. it gets full of cracks from age. the plasctic fitting gets brittle and breaks. The rest of the high pressuer fuel lines serving the injectors usially don't have to be replaced . if you repl;ace any fuel lines, know what you are doing. if you don't get the right size and type of hoise, and clamps, you may make the potential for fire hazard worse.
