help - stupid fuel control pressure regulator....

[seowitz@seowitz.com (Erik Seo)]

thanks jerry.....i did find that clip, but it wouldn't secure....not sure
about that one....i might be able to get someone else to look at it...i
don't feel like taking the fuel distributor off again to pull the airbox out
to look!

as for using open wrenches...i tried that, but i can't seem to get a good
grip on them......the wrenches started to slip off......as i could only get
part of the open wrench around the bolt.
are you referring to flare wrenches for brake lines perhaps?

as far as the vacuum lines, just some silicone lines to slip over the
plastic one's would work then as long as they fit i'm assuming??
