I'm patiently waiting for reports. > Thanks for the input. I went ahead and bought an aftermarket cap, and a Marelli rotor. How much should I stretch the spring? Another question: In Kirby's book, he says that the hose between the fuel rail and injectors should be 1/4 inch. I bought some (spendy!), but it looks like the original hose is slightly larger. I read something in the archives about it, but I can't find it now. Any thoughts?
