Am I likely to really need them? Also, FYI, the upper intake manifold gaskets are on national backorder until 2/18! Have to see if NAPA or someone carries them.

Every other time I drop by, they don't have squat for me, so I end up calling Bill Jenkins anyway. 1998 Silver Frost SVT Contour born on...8/28/01[/i] American Iron Shootout Radial Tire 2 Class Champion, Cecil County Dragway April 20, 2002

Have to see if NAPA or someone carries them.[/b] This is for the early side feed injector right? If so there a 3 things you need, the injector to lower manifold seal, the injector nose o rings and the "big" injector top oring. I have a set of those top o rings I never used (was going to rebuild, but then switched entirely to 19# mustang top feed). Email me at lkauffma@pacbell.net and you can have them for whatever Bill Jenkins charged me for them. (I think all 6 were like 12 bucks?)
