[DML] Re: fuel pump? please help!

["Duke" <at88mph@xxxx>]

Erik,


I believe your talking about the fuel distributor. All you need to do is
tighten the bolt from where its leaking and you should be ok. If you don't
want to start the car to check for a fuel leak, you can just 'jump' the RPM
relay to make the pump run constant. (check the back issues or you can email
me directly for details) Tighten the bolt, then jump the pump, and check
for leaks. After you finish, reinstall the RPM relay and let the car sit
for a while. (depending on how much gas has been sprayed) You should be
fine.


Hope this helps,


Duke
