Yeah good luck repairing that. I just replaced my spider injector on my 94 4.3W only to find the same one you have leaking is leaking on mine (presumed from rubbing against #4 cylinder's line).

Word of caution, be uber careful with the T30 torx screw back there.

Yes, the napa link is what you're looking for. I just bought that this morning from Napa for mine.
