ok, well...got up today to run a few errands and had a vibration round 30-35mph. just what i thought! a dang u-joint. so, i had to fix that before starting on the motor again.
installed the new injectors and t-bird fuel rail...everything looks good so far. doesnt look like there will be any interference with the pressure side fuel line and the alternator.
i slipped the distributor in place to see how much of the bracket needs to be clearanced. how have you guys had to remove??
also, one other problem i found. when i got this gt40 intake(it didnt come with any bolts) so i pulled some bolts the last time i was lkq. the bolts came from a 97 explorer(so you would think they were perfect) however, i found the bolts are tightening down before the intake is??? its not by much, and i threw a washer under the head of the bolt, but the name plate wont bolt up right because the bolt heads sit up just a hair.%)
here are a few pics
