I need a few parts for my car:

When I turn off the car, a strong smell of residual diesel exists; stronger than before. I read on here somewhere that this is caused by certain seals or some small parts by the injectors that wears out?

Second of all, what are the parts/parts numbers for the door lock diaphragms in the doors that hold the vacuum? How much are they usually?

Here's a picture for views...

At the top of this page are a bunch of dark blue blocks. One is named "Buy Parts" Now it is nice to buy parts from these people, but you don't have to. But anyone can use there wonderful system of parts nomenclature and pricing. This is all new stuff and there is even a picture for most every part. Pick your model from the first menu, then go to engine parts for the injectors and for the vacuum, go to vacuum parts and you will find them. Guaranteed!

Check the fuel jumper lines for leaks, common failure on old engines. Vac issues run the gamut, could easily be a leak somewhere.

Fuel return lines are leaking. Cloth covered lines that go from injector to injector and back to the secondary fuel filter housing. Available at Buy Parts.
Vacuum diaphragms are not available at buy parts I believe. Do a forum search on "George Murphy" and his phone number will come up. Buy the vacuum parts from him
