Putting back the old fuel lines



After I put the old lines back on and the car started running rough on
me(again!). So I thought I had better double-check my hookups. They were all
exactly as it was before because I drew a diagram of everything to remind
me. When I compared it to the repair manual I noticed that the previous
owner had 4 and 6 switched. 

I've tried it with 4 and 6 reversed and with them in the correct position.
The correct position yields better results but it still sluggish when I put
the hammer down (I'm Eastbound and Down). When I hit the accelerator hard,
the engine sounds almost exactly like a VW beetle (putt-putt-putt-putt) and
has about as much pickup. It sounded to me like one of the injectors wasn't
firing correctly.

I retorqued the 1-2-3 fuel lines over the injectors and it seemed to
improve. The 4-5-6 I felt were okay but maybe I should retorque them as
well. The question is, can over-torquing them cause the fuel to get choked
off?

The only other thing I can think of is maybe I knocked something loose
around the slave cylinder when I was bleeding it...
