Valve cover wireing connector
On each connector, the outermost pins are one glowplug each, the center pin is common to the two injectors associated with that connector, and the pins adjacent to the center pin are for one injector each. Cheers!- Patrick Feeley

Valve cover wireing connector
You can get just a pigtail (connector with five wires) to splice in. You can also get a repair kit that has the connector shell pieces (the pins are sold separate) and fix it that way. If a connection is burned/melted (goes for either internal connection or external connection), always replace...- Patrick Feeley

Fuel leak
I've never done it, but removing some of the accessories may not be that bad. A/C compressor is not that bad to get out of the way and neither is the alternator. Cheers!- Patrick Feeley

Fuel leak
Is your bowl drain valve possibly leaking? I know I forgot to close mine once after changing the filter. The fan blew fuel everywhere (a nice mess)! Cheers!- Patrick Feeley

Fuel leak
Those are the fuel return lines from each head to the Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR) on the driver's side of the fuel bowl. I know on my 94, the fittings on the FPR were NPT at the fitting-to-FPR joint (don't overtighten or you will crack the regulator!) and flare at the hose-to fitting. You...- Patrick Feeley

Fuel leak
I'll assume you meant oil leak vice fuel if it's coming from one of the HPOP lines. It depends on where the leak is coming from on what the fix would be. If it's at the hose-to-fitting joint, there is no o-ring there since it's a flared fitting and you might have to replace the hose, fitting...- Patrick Feeley

Help Needed CPS keeps failing! Please help...
Do a good harness check too. The CPS's aren't showing evidence of being damaged on the sensor surface are they (after you remove them)? There have been some folks that have had cam thrust issues that wipe the sensor face out (I don't think that it's very common though). You may also want to...- Patrick Feeley

Max Pulling Power
Intercooler, Stage I injectors, 17* HPOP, and Custom tuned chip should get you there (and maybe e-fuel if you can afford it), but don't forget about the transmission especially if you have an automatic (E4OD). You'll probably need a larger cooler, lines, valve body, and torque converter. I'm...- Patrick Feeley

Question Flex plate replacement
In a nutshell, drop the tranny (part of that will be removing the converter mounting nuts that hold it to the flexplate). After that, you would unbolt the flexplate from the engine crankshaft and replace. Cheers!- Patrick Feeley

Hard start '97
Batteries and starter make a huge difference on these things. The starter performance will degrade over time, but having said that, the injector poppets may be worn where it could be the injectors. If the valvecovers ever happen to be off, he can pull the solenoids off the injectors and...- Patrick Feeley

stripped head on exhaust manifold bolt ??
Here's one example: "Craftsman 10 pc. Damaged Bolt/Nut Remover Set, Low Profile Bolt-Out ". I'm not saying they are the correct ones for your effort, its just an example. Cheers!- Patrick Feeley

Down pipe
Not really. I cut slots in the pinch weld (being careful not to cut too far) and then used a port-a-power to bend it over for the necessary clearance. Cheers!- Patrick Feeley
