Re: 1971 Stepside LS Build

Ordered my gas line and fittings so I needed to get the fuel rails and injectors put back on the intake. I wanted to clean the injectors before putting them back in knowing that they will be sitting for a few months before they have clean fuel running to them again. I watched a couple videos on how to do this and then built my own tool. I used a 1/2" piece of rubber hose and reduced it down by using a 1/2" plastic wall anchor. I cut the end off the wall anchor and then drilled it to match the size of the smaller hose. A couple clamps and it worked perfectly with no leaks. I purchased a small 12v battery since I didn't have an old car battery laying around. They were sure dirty. I had a supervisor keeping an eye on me in the shop.
