Last Fuel Line Part II

 It was 75 degrees and mostly sunny today here in Dallas. I had to take advantage of the first nice weekend since last November.

After struggling and fighting I finally gave in and cut off the line as close as I could to the fitting.

I filed down the rough edge from the hacksaw cut and prepped the end of the line for the new compression fitting. Then I examined my replacement parts and started scratching my head a bit. I'm either not seeing the connection correctly in my head or I'm missing a part. Either way I'm going to contact my parts vendor and see what he says.

In the meantime I got the injectors ready for the flow test and installed the "pipe of agony". I also tested the idle speed motor (ISM) and it worked without issue, which is excellent news considering this is a $200+ part if I had to replace it. We're getting closer.  I went ahead and stuck the trickle charger on the battery so I can jumper the RPM relay to do the flow test. I'm going to have to wait until I get this last fitting connected though and then go back through and make sure everything is tightened up.
