Hey all, this last week has been interesting. i have dismantled by entire fuel system from the distributer to the injectors, and from the tank to the metal fuel lines. i found i was missing a couple parts in the tank and i ordered new upper hoses, connectors, and some other goodies up there. the distributer was a difficult job. i couldn't get it off of the intake manifold so i just unscrewed the whole air meter top and took the thing to a machine shop yesterday after about 50 more attempts at loosening the screws. i soon found that i could see the pin that goes in the distributer from the bottom of the air meter. it wasn't moving like it should - it seemed to be stuck up in there because it wan't resting on the seesaw in there. well the guys at the shop had to use an impact screwdriver for about 15 minutes before they could loosen any screws. one of the hits i heard something go 'clink', which i imagine was the pin falling back down to where it should be. it was tough that in fact they wound up nearly splitting one of the screws in half it was so tight!! well they called over their two biggest guys and one guy turned a huge screwdriver and another guy held the air meter (which i put on styrofoam so they woudn't damage it) and FINALLY they turned the screws out!!! well the distributer shows absolutely no sign of corrosion inside of it from what i can see on the outside. the pin is in perfect shape, and it goes in very tightly, but once in, it just kinda 'floats' in there from the vacuum it makes. also i put it back together and now the pin goes up and down with the distributer. i think what happened is one of my amoco guys pushed the air meter down as far as it will go, and that pushed the pin up as high as IT can go - and it wasn't used to being that high so it caught way up there. here's what i am going to do now - i'll lube the pin up with WD-40 and put the whole fuel system back together with the new parts i have coming next week. check out my pressures and see what happens. if they are still all messed up, i'm sending my whole fuel system to grady for a flushing and evaluation. what do you guys think?
