Darn, where is that 6th bolt?

I only have 5 bolts out, I cannot find the 6th bolt. I know there is another bolt for the cold start injector, is that the 6th I need to remove the runners?


-Man those lower runner bolts are tuff suckers!

this is the runner off a 89(no cold start inj.), but it is the same, just no inj. hole

if this is the bolt that holds the ninth inj., yes, that is the bolt holding you up

Yeap, I thought it wasnt attached to the runners.

Thanks again man!





The lower runner bolts on the passenger side were a different story, man did that take me a long time! And I still couldnt get them, then my dad came out and did it in 15 min
