Injector Cap Question
Hello,
I'm an IDI newbie trying to solve an air intrusion problem. I began removing the injector caps and return lines this evening and discovered one that was a little different. The passenger side injector is closest to the fuel filter has a different cap on it than the others. It also seems trickier than the others to remove. It has a couple points for a wrench but as I turn it puts a lot of tension on the fuel line. I've read a few posts on return line replacement and seen a video but none of them mention this unusua injector cap. Any advice on its removal without damaging the fuel line? Thanks.

thats a timing pulse adapter.
supposedly it makes the engine easier to time.
either leave it, or get a van #1 line.
i went with 6.9 injector lines.
no adapter.
ive been told you cant just delete it, or the timing will be thrown off, as injection line length plays a part.
if you delete it #1 will be shorter.
