I'm glad that it was something simple and you were able to just get away with basically freshening them up. I completely understand having to work on something like this in might near 100deg heat, it's just plain miserable, but at least once you get done you can set back and sip a glass of iced tea and enjoy the fact that you didn't have to spend too much getting her back going.

Thanks for your help on the forum, while doing the head job I replaced the spider with the 8 injector type. The injectors don't fit real tight in the holes of the intake, and wondered if I should put a little silicon around the top of the injectors in the hole.
Thanks, Gary
