[DML] FUEL DISTRIBUTOR

from this website came this tech tip
Fuel Distributor:  DON'T TAKE THEM APART!  This bit of wisdom comes 
from experience.  I figured I'd take it apart to clean it.  Well I 
cleaned it, reassembled it and tried it.  IT LEAKED!  I cleaned it 
again.  (with alcohol while wearing surgical gloves)  IT LEAKED 
AGAIN!  I tried using a permatex-type sealant on the metal gasket.  IT 
STILL LEAKED.  I dissassembled it again, removed all the sealant and 
tried a spray-on sealant.  IT STILL F**KING LEAKED!  So, my advice to 
anyone considering disassembling the fuel distributor; DON'T.  They 
truly are "non-servicable"  (and GOD I hate to admit that!)

I think im having that problem between the fuel distributor and cold 
start valve, i ordered new hose and bolts from DMCH and i dont know 
how to fix it. The hose hasnt come in yet so i havent gotten to try 
it, but i have a feeling its still going to leak. DMCH sent me a hose 
on the 3 by snail mail and i still havent gotten it. I might call them 
tomorrow. Thanks for the help
