The original 87 had a plastic cap that covered the end. With the cap off, you could see the tiny screw that has a tendency to vibrate out and lay about in the cap, if its on. The later cars did not have the plastic cap, nor the tiny screw. From the fuel rail that J-RAT gave me from a newer model car, there is no cap or screw, just a nib of rubber filling a tiny hole in the end. On my other car with the plastic cap, I put some locktite on the screw threads and screwed it in until I just barely felt resistance where the shank of the screw bottomed out. Then I epoxied a plastic nipple on the end of the plastic cap, and epoxied the cap to the pd. Then ran a hose from the new nipple to the left side of the engine so WHEN the thing breaks, its possible that the fuel will go overboard on the left side of the car and not the turbo or the exaust. I also bought a fire extinguisher.

I'm going to unstick this now and move it to the Archives unless anybody has objections? I'll wait a couple hours.
