It seems the bottom cover on my injector pump is leaking. (1991 350 SDL). Either I am not the contortionist I ought to be or there is another way besides a 1/4" drive ratchet to tighten the screws. Something like an allen wrenh maybe?

Anyone done this?

Chris:

The screws are a torx type with a hex head, I think.

You are not going to like this, but I suspect you will just let it leak. If snugging up the screws doesn't fix the leak, the IP has to come out to replace the bottom cover (lousy design!). Removing this IP is not for the faint of heart -- big pain.

I'm going to let mine leak.
