What do you mean stepup?
I had heard in the past that they were compared to 24lb injectors.
Thanks

I meant setup. I was up for 27+ hours when I posted here last. I don't have a spare one to look up injector model for the spec on flow rate but the popet deal is not used on the redesigned module.

Well, found a few minutes to check the Hoe. It still has that leak 
I'll be ordering that new set within the next week. Hopefully it will resolve this issue.
I miss my Hoe.
Meanwhile, I'll be putting my spindles on and am hopefully working with some fella to help me design me 4-link. I'm also going to try to dial in my steering box, AGR sent me some directions on adjusting it. Maybe that will resolve the steering issue.
Blah blah blah, sorry for rambling on, hah.

Bringing this back
Final update: After letting my Hoe sit for several chilly NC months I finally got off my ass and jum back in. To make a long story short, it was the gasket that goes on the spider assembly. I took off the upper plenum, which was rather hard, Why you ask, hah. Because the gasket rolled off the seal and wasnt doing anything. I took the old gasket off and could fit an OE replacement inside of it. What busts mu bubble is, this happened to 4 gaskets all felpro. I put the OE Delphi gasket and it slid right on, no problems.......
The good news, I can return my other new spider assembly, bracket and gasket set
While it has sat for a few months, I did take it for a spin one or two times. I noticed both valve covers are leaking and water is leaking out of the one hose that has a quick connect on it, not sure if its for the AC. I'm starting to get pretty aggrivated with this. If its not one thing, its another. Not sure what I'm going to do.

Sun,
do you happen to have a part number for that fitting and o-ring?
Thanks
A little update.
After driving the Hoe for a few weeks, everything has been going well.
I looked under it today and saw three wet spots. I touched the wet spots (no dirty jokes ), its clear like water but has a slick filmy feel. Like coolant
I noticed that fitting is leaking a little more and is running to the back of the motor. I am hoping thats it.
I got my trusty flashlight and mirror to check out the rear of the motor where I replaced the lower intake manifold gasket and noticed it was a little wet to. Man, I'm hoping its the leaky fitting that is soaking the back. I do not want to have to do the lower manifold again.

Yup, the lower intake manifold is leaking AGAIN
I'm thrilled.
What is the best rtv to use for a lower intake manifold gasket?

use absolutely no sealant on intake gasket except for font and rear block structure. The gasket has bead type sealing. either you did not torque properly something is warped or gasket was damaged.

Thanks for the part number and info, I appreciate it.
Unfortunately I have a feeling what happened. It was the person who did the work with me. This is the reason it has been done two times previous. He is a the reason and the reason I am going to take it to a shop. I should actually blame myself for this. No excuses, just aggrivation.
Thanks again
