Done and done, with a huge sigh of relief.

I relocated the lock from the rear hard lines to the front and finally got #1 fuel line removed. The indie shop used some monster torque to get it attached to the D valve. It was probably 2 full turns beyond what was necessary.

Anyway, the D valve had worked itself too loose while I was fidgeting with the injector line last night. I tightened it 30-30-35 nm and now all it is well.

The one good thing to come of this is that I discovered that my car has enough power to run minus a cylinder. Not bad for a nearly 40 year old gal...

Thanks for the help.
