Injectors

Thanks perhaps jumped the gun tad bit, was willing to concede the injectors where dirty clogged by old fuel. Truck sits more than driven, found two cylinders not participating.
cylinder 2
cylinder 3
Got it out get it ready to plow snow this year, took it down had the stainless dual pipes installed with new stainless mufflers get it back to find suffering dead miss.
Looking it over after few minutes knew it was fuel related, miss not due to lack of spark or compression had to be injector related. The thought it could be wiring related did occur to me but didn't feel I'd be that lucky.....as it were....
Pulled injector 3, 9 volt and little compressed air had me looking back at the truck for the cause, hot minute with a meter had me looking the harness over found the wires corroded through. Happen to have another engine harness so swapped it out.
New problem and hoping I can find one in good shape local in the morning, got it all back together only to find the rusty crusty fuel rail now leaks no way to fix it. Not real confident I'd be able to find one around here either.
If anyone has a nice one and would be willing to part with it (I be willing to pay a fair price plus shipping of course) someone perhaps has a good one, one that isn't rusty? I'd be interested.
I will check around here in the morning first (salt belt) but would like a back up plan <strike>if</strike> when that falls through, not many of these trucks around here any more and those that are are rusty, I fear probably includes the fuel rails on em too.
