Here's a couple of pictures with it installed. You'll note on the first one there appears to be a little bit of fuel still coming by that last injector. I discovered that, lo and behold, the back hose plug was...quite leaky now, too! Yanked real hard on that hose and...the top came off but the rest stayed on the barb! Great...only thing I even remotely had with me that might work to get that off at that moment was...a pair of scissors. So, I go to work cutting the old hose off the "nail" (plug) in the original hose (took awhile) and then used the scissors to basically destroy and pull off the original hose from the barb on the engine. That original was quite stiff and crumbly. I will attempt later to post a video I made to Youtube where you can see the Tygon vs. original, so you can see the "shaking" I mention in regards to the Tygon.

You can see from the second shot that I stuffed the plug in one end and installed. A later check showed that the area is now dry. Since I've seen other posts with references to other parts suppliers; here's the link to the stuff I used. Whether a local store near you will have it, I can't tell ya.
