Crap. Crap. Crap. F#$ F*&%^
Apperently my truck already had the shim. I think anyways. And I snapped the clip off trying to jamb the 1/4 in there.
What do I do now? Do I have to replace the injecter harness?

Broke the u-shaped part on the male side of the injecter harness plug.
Im going to pull the pass side and see (if I can break it too) what it looks like.

The boss is out right now with the camera or I would.
I pulled the passenger side and found what looks to be a shim (loose little plastic wedge) where the 1/4 should go.
Ive owned the truck since 2004 and it had 33000 ( Im at 97000 now) and didnt think anybody had ever been in the valve covers.
Gonna be another $100 lesson.
Lets see if I can break my injecter hold down bolts.

So does your look like this ??
It is hard to tell but I did use a quarter on this too. But UVCH clip and a quarter cut down to about 15cents to fit. And actually with the clip you don't need the quarter but I did anyway. I grinded down both sides.
And as an old guy I once worked for would say " If it wasn't that it would be something else." Sorry for your bad luck.

If Ive got to pull them for a 3rd time I will but Its beer drinking for me the rest of the day.
