Re: fuel injector woes

Check your injector seats.  Mine (on the '78) were way wasted.  Lubing up 
the seals with gas or grease works very well.  I was having the same problem 
you are when I tried to put the #1 injector back in.  Then I pulled out #2 
and #3 with the seat attached to the injector!  I decided it was time to 
replace these cheap pieces of plastic!  When I put in the new injector seats 
I had no problem getting the injectors seated.  I only used gas on the new 
seals.

The injector puller tool works very well.  I think it only costs $5.  You 
can also use a long screwdriver and something to leverage against (a small 
block of some sort).
