When we say Dave probably had it tweaked we're really saying we hope he did.  The only way to know is to go back the same way.  Mike Barr never mentioned any problems.

I vote to go ahead and purchase replacement injectors and to authorize Pat to order them.  There are only 10 left at the $95 price, so we need  to act quickly.
Do you have the part number?

Pat,
Charlie sent you an email with a hyperlink. Can you please update us once the order has been placed.

The injectors are ordered. They should be delivered to Charlie's.

I've still got the lower rear quarters. Need to get them to where the car is. Looks like I'm going to miss the upcoming meeting.
Is the car still at Mike's shop? Maybe I can drop them off, one day after work.

I don't know why the whole sentence is underlined above.  The raw text shows only the words probably and hope are underlined.  I was working from a phone, so that might be why. 

The car is still at Northlake Automotive.  Mike and his tech have the upper intake off.  Mike and I have been discussing going back with a 3.4 fuel rail and eliminating the cold start injector.  If you all want to keep the cold start injector, I have one in my shed that's in much better condition than the one that came out of the Formula.  I also have a 2.8 fuel rail to replace the crudded rail.  I may be able to get down to help him on Saturday if he wants to work on it. 

Let us know your pleasure.

The underline tag after ”probably” is an open tag, rather than a close tag.  Should be ”/u”, rather than ”u”.

The underline function tab above malfunctioned, I guess.  it starts out with [ before and ] after probably, then [ before hope, but ends with /]

Just copy and paste the text below.  I've discovered that what you (in general) post is sometimes changed by the system after you click the submit button.  I doubt the underline button malfunctioned.

When we say Dave probably had it tweaked we're really saying we hope he did.  The only way to know is to go back the same way.  Mike Barr never mentioned any problems.

I managed to get the inside of the rail cleaned of all buildup, but I've found that there's heavy oxidation where the O-rings fit into the rail.  We're concerned about getting a good seal, since some of the metal is eaten away.  We'll need to transfer the adjustable regulator over to my 2.8 or 3.4 rail.  If we use the 3.4 rail, we will need to remove the fuel line to rail block and transfer the 2.8 unit onto it. 

In any case, it will need the O-ring seal kit for the cold start injector if we don't eliminate it, and it might be a good idea to replace the fuel block to rail seal if we transfer to the 3.4 rail.  Only available at The Fiero Store for $38.  The O-ring kit is about $9.

I'm in favor of doing away with the cold start injector, and I give my approval for the fuel block to rail seal.

Losing the cold start injector sounds good to me

I'm in favor of it, too. I'll pull it out of my stock.
