I went to orielly's and bought their injector kit for my 1990 f350 7.3
got home and took the right side off and opened the kit and the kit has different plastic pieces, hole are in the wrong place>>>???
i assume for the 6.9.
but now i'm in a delemma, nobody else in town has the kit
1. do i use my old plastic T's and replace everything else

2. replace the old stuff and order one online and hope the truck keeps starting till it arrives, i hate that cause today is when i wanted to get this done.

3 use these even though they do not lOOK liek they will work.

i have the truck torn apart now so HELP me pLEASE

 

anybody out there
??

 

If the caps you took off are OK, re-use them & replace the o-rings & hoses. Lube up the o-rings with vaseline when you put them on.
The washers should be copper, and they're for the nose of the injectors. If you didn't pull the injectors out of the heads, you don't need them...

 

Holes would be in the same places on a 6.9....... but caps and hoses would be smaller

Did you get a 7.3 turbo kit with 2... 3 port cap perhaps.

Your best bet is to reinstall the old lines and caps......

You did not remove the orings from the injectors or injectors from the heads....yet did you..

 

ok i re used my plastic caps, and made new lines and put on new clamps and new o rings with vaseline on them, had a couple of problems but it now runs.
vaseline on an O ring, then try to make it do what you want it to do....YEA!!! that was fun.
i cross threaded the spacer to the injector up front on passenger side, but was able to re-thread it correctly after attacking it with a dremel tool and some small files... i knew that one would be a pain in the but.... i never felt it cross thread, the first i noticed resistance i stopped and it had messed up the first 2 threads only on one side, in one place, odd but i got it to work.
then because several months ago the parts place gave me the wrong hose for my radiator, it seemed to fit ok, but was a little long with an extra bend in it, i laid on it while working on the truck, didn't realize it moved and when i started the truck the fan blade hit it...had to run and get one and put it on, that was how i found out that the other one was the wrong one, cause this one fits and stays away from the fan blade.
i'll let ya'll no how it turns out, thanks for your help, it seemed to start easy.
will have to let you know if it continues to start easy.

 

thats what you call and educational day sheesh!! awesome you got it startin/runnin!

 

Nope, still leaking air, one of the old plastic caps, rear passenger side was suspect before messing with it, NOW it is obviously leaking, so i got a kit, the right one from a place called diesel care out of memphis, they had no problem knowing what i wanted and getting it to me, a great resource for our old trucks, phone number is 901-873-3400.
so i replaced only the plastic cap that was obviously leaking cause it was late and i was tired, when i got done started her up and see a leak in the passenger side front cap/injector, i'll get to that one and probably the rest of them sat.
i love this stupid truck!!!Q@!@???

 

If you do not do them all at once you will be chasing your tail ... The one next to it will leak, fix it, the next one will leak.

Do them all!

-Enjoy
fh : )_~

 

yea that is my plan to replace them all tomorrow
i'll let you know how it goes

 

i have the 2 piece fuel filter, what are the 2 things on the bottom of it. the one is a screw that is off to one side, the other is L shaped and in the middle.
do these need to be hooked up to something>????

 

The thing in the center is your water drain, the thing off to the side with the screw sticking out is your water-in-fuel sensor. There's a short rubber hose that hooks up to the drain port and then to a thin steel line to drain fuel down under the engine. The sensor gets a wire plugged onto the screw, it's set up much like the trigger wire for your starter relay on the fender.

 

replaced the caps and the o rings and the fuel lines and it has fired up with no prblem for 2 mornings in a row.
