Legend...thanks mate.

On the weekend, it looked like both the FPR & MAP vac lines ran under the manifold. I'll have another look tonight. Hope I don't have to pull the manifold to replace that vac line.

I'll be honest, I haven't chimed in because I don't know the vac config for V8s

I replaced the vac hose yesterday but I'll be buggered if I can unscrew the regulator. What a crap spot for the screw. Lost the stubby screwdriver down in the bowels and had to jack the car up to retrieve it.

Any hints for that ?

OK, thanks guys. Time to suss out how to remove the fuel rail !

In case you haven't already guessed, I'm not the most mechanically astute lol.

@1994vr, yeah, I have the part.....just need to fit the thing.
