Thanks thats a good deal too. The one that was posted before is a complete kit though, comes with the FPR, Injector, spider, nut kit and plenum gasket. I think my nut kits leaking where it comes into the intake too, not bad, but when I dry it with brakleen it will look wet again later one after the pressures been on for a bit. Ill do that other stuff later, I just gotta get it up to emissions pass standards for now to get the insurance and then tinker with it for a proper fix later. I dont have time to order anything right now cause i need it done in 4 days.

You should always replace the nut kit when replacing the spider. Disturbing the lines is a good way to cause them to leak.

Its been pissing rain here for the last couple days, so I havent been able to get this engine put back together and tested... Argh. Looks like it may clear up today in the afternoon so I hope I get the hour window that I need to get her going again.

OK, I got it all put back together now, she started right up, fuel pressure is holding about 58 through all RPM range. Was puffing alot of smoke for about 15 minutes but then it cleared up, I guess this is from all the gas in the intake and cylinders and such. Oil is about 2L overfull now, going to change it after it runs for a while to clean out the crankcase. The junkyard spider works just fine for me for now. I think Ill order one of those 300 dollar kits in a month or two for a more permanent fix.

Have a couple small problems still:

-when coming to a hard stop, it stalls sometimes and restarts just fine
-when sitting still, if I rev it up the RPM guage works fine, but the digital speedo also goes up to about 14KMPH....?
