Hose job done...
I got it finished...
I got all of my hoses, fuel pulsation dampener changed, 1 new injector sleeve. Re-painted the intake elbow and x-over pipe. cleaned the engine up. replaced some fuel lines, and broke 1 solenoid. Found all of my freon leaked out again. changed out the plug wires. cleaned some grounding points. rewrapped the harness.
-get this... I was wrapping the wires when my friend told me to look down... I saw a wire all curled up and just laying in the area of the alt. cradle. I found the source y'day. It broke off the fan switch/thermosensor. I pulled the harness and took it apart and it was completly corroded and the wire was brittle as ****. so I re did that and now I'm just waiting for tomorrow to roll around so I can finish up and be done w/ it. I will be doing a writeup for everyones help in the coming weeks as the pictures get developed. I used goodfella's idea to torch the hoses lightly to get them to soften up and it worked like a charm and saved tons of time on the rock hard ones.

P.S. I'm going to be doing to polishing periodically and eventually post pics of that also.

I used the hose techniques kit... they send/sell too much hose for the application I have alot of feet left over I'm probably going to sell I'll let you know how much is left of the hose to see if I have enough for another hose job on the same kit. Its silver btw.

I ordered the HT kit also, (having problems with receiving the package though) I'm trying to stock up on all the parts I will be needing to do the job. By the time I get to the job, I will have around 55k miles, so I'm wondering if my plug wires would be worth changing along with the FPD??? What do you think? I don't seem to be having problems, but if it saves me ripping everything out again in 10k miles I might as well. I plan on upgrading the radiator and hoses too. Still undecided about the y-pipe...Which fuel lines did you replace (brittle?) I'll probably send my injectors to RC engineering too. Anything I'm forgetting?
