RE: [DMCForum] crush washers on the fuel distributor



Andrew,
The Hollow bolts and fittings on top of the fuel distributor are 8mm and
so
are the copper washers. The other larger connections to the side are 12mm.
The only other size is the 10mm on the Warm up regulator with a 8mm on the
other end on top of the fuel dist. If you don't find them let me know. As
for lining up, you don't have to, that's why they are banjo fittings and
banjo hollow bolts.
John

  Subject: [DMCForum] crush washers on the fuel distributor


  I started work on installing the Nology HotWires today, and as many of
us
  know, a couple of plug wires on this car are pretty much impossible to
  replace unless one loosens the entire intake manifold/fuel distribtor
  assembly.  In so doing, I had to remove the fuel line that connects to
the
  left side of the distributor (as one faces it from the rear).  I *think*
  this is the line going to the CPR, but I'm not sure.

  Anyway, when I popped it out, I heard something small and metal fall
  through the engine (but not reach the ground, of course).  Finding one
  copper washer on the bolt, I am assuming that what I heard was probably
an
  identical copper washer from the other side of the fitting.  Could
someone
  verify this for me?

  Obviously I need to replace these when I put the fuel line back in.
Does
  anyone know offhand what size this is?  I can obvously take the one I've
  got to a parts store, but it would be easier if I knew exactly which one
  to get.

  Hey John Hervey... I was checking out your site to see if you happened
to
  have the sizes, and was reading up on your fuel pump fault symptoms.
For
  a while now, I've noticed a buzzing/humming noise coming from the front
of
  my cabin.  As the voltage oscillates at idle, the humming increases and
  decreases its frequency.  This noise is louder than it used to be.  I've
  also recently started noticing some knocking under load when the engine
is
  hot.  Do you think it's about time for me to pull the fuel pump and put
in
  a fresh one?  Aside from the filter, is there anything else you'd
  recommend replacing at the same time?
