Here is a pic by Dan (Kwikkordead) that shows the GP connector connected to top of GP. Make sure your's aren't rubbing on the push rod like in this pic. That wire eventually shorted out on the push rod when the insulation wore away.

10 foot pounds isnt nearly enough, usually they seat, and a few hundred miles they "seat in" and loosen up a little. Get the collar down over the top bolt, use a man's hand or a rubber mallet to get the injector seated, start the bottom bolt, a few smacks on the top with a rubber mallet, tighten it down tight with a 1/4" ratchet, then smack it some more with the rubber mallet, and recheck with a torque wrench, should be AT LEAST 10 lbs on it.

I have read 14 NM which equals about 124 in/lbs. I have also read 14 ft/lbs which equals 168 in/lbs. Anybody have a sure answer to this. I used 124 in/lbs when I replaced my GPs last Sep. No problems yet.

I don't doubt they've seen many loose injectors. That's why we're such a fan of re-torquing them. I've seen and read about how too much torque can have a negative affect on o-rings. Don't know if that holds true for the injector o-rings as well, but it's something to keep in mind.
