So I pulled off the airbox on my 73 2.0. I then removed a few vacume lines which were loose anyway. (i am replacing them too) Then I removed the retaining nuts for my fuel injectors. the first injector was yellow, the other three are blue at the top. OH NO. next I pulled out the injectors, one was held in with a ziptie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) and another had no large seal at all. and the final one had 2 small seals...Now it gets better.....I noticed one of the three nuts holding the intake pipes was loose it came right off. then I noticed the other two were also loose??? Im not sure if the PO forgot to tighten or what. There was nothing holding this down at all. Once removed I saw lots of black exaust leak everywhere and even gasoline lying on the engine tin underneath. WOW, to think the car was running pretty good befor I started. Cant wait to see how she runs when Im done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

Get a spare or two if you can. Then send the lot out to be cleaned. Chances are a few will fail due to leaks. Once cleaned, the spray pattern will be much better, thus resulting in better and reliable performance.
