One last thing. Does anyone have any tricks for tightening the hard to reach nuts on the injector pump?
I have one at the bottom (~5 o'clock facing the pump) that needs to be tightened. I don't see a good way to get down there to it--even if I remove the 3 lines above it...
I WAS ABLE TO GET ON THAT ONE and the center feed line flare nut with a fairly short (Not a stubby) and fairly thin 5/8 in open end wrench made in China, like these (see text below image):

If you can't get on it with the first try, flip the wrench over to the other face
where the same open end will have a different angle NOT flipping the wrench end for end but just turning it over using the same open end. One way or the other you should be able to get enough bite on it to turn it a little bit and then just keep flipping the wrench over until you get it tightened.
That being said, I PLAN to make a special wrench from a Craftsman Obstruction Wrench, one end for the IP Timing bolts and the other end a 5/8 in. 12 point Flare Wrench for the hard lines and feed line connected to the IP.
I was going to wait until after I make it but since the replacement switch on my good old bench grinder is burnt out, I don't have a replacement bench grinder yet. Therefore I'll just post my idea in a new post later today to see what people think of my idea and if they think it will work well. I'm very optimistic about it. I think I will label the topic, "My idea for making a combination IP timing bolt and IP Fuel line flare wrench in one wrench."
So watch for that post and we'll see what people here will think of it. I'm also going to post it at FTE because I like that group and the old timers who post there.
