The front line on the driver side goes to top of IP. Driver side back line connects to line that returns to tank. Front passenger side line goes to top of fuel filter housing. Passenger side back line dead end. And now thinking back to when I had my '94 IDIT, either the #3 or #5 injector cap will have to have 3 nipples on it cause that is where it crosses over. I think if I remember right the kit I bought didn't have a 3 nipple cap either so I had to use the old one. I think I have pics of when I did my '94, I'll look and post back.

They should just POP right off. You can take a flat screw driver and gently pry them up if they are a little stubborn.

Yes, they just pull off by hand. You might have to twist them some or carefully pry on them to get them started moving, but they should come right up.

Leave your injector lines unhooked from your injectors. Put a rag over each injector. Disconnect the key switch wire from your starter solenoid and run a jumper wire to the post on the solenoid. Touch the jumper wire to your positive battery post and let the engine crank over until you see fuel starting to come out of the injector lines and soak the rags over each injector. Since your ignition will be off during this you'll need to run a jumper wire to your IP to give it power.

good luck with that Pensacola kit Bruce.nothing but leaks from either their caps or hose.i switched to the Delphi from amazon and she's been trouble free.
Russ (typefour who posted once above) sells good quality kits too.
just in case (most likely) you run into fuel leaks and want to solve it for good next time.
