Looks like if may have found it...will disassemble to verify. Thank you both! Tonight I believe I found the issue to be the passenger side of the regulator block and rail interface to be the leak. There was gas on top of the rail at this point. I will follow the sage advice. Joe

I noticed my car running oddly. Stumbling slightly when I first found the leak. Leaking enough that I cannot drive the car. Is it possible to have a pressure problem causing the leak? I have not measured the fuel pressure at the rail. The leak seems to be intermintant as I ran the car around...

I am about to replace my water pump and am wondering if there are preferences in sealent used.

Thanks for your info. I have discovered a plastic tee (motormite 47118) and plain 3/4" heater hose will do the trick. Thank you for reply all the same. Joe

Does anyone know where to get this part? I am talking about the Tee in the small out let of the WP that feeds the heater core and the oil cooler. The PN is 14091278 which I can get from GM parts Direct, but I was looking for a local box store or more cost effective mail order (which is all...

Thanks very much sir. God Bless Joe

Thanks for the response SoLow. Even in the gap that would be there between the pieces? What I mean is the crack has a buildup that looks like butal caulk you would use on a tub, but is painted and stiff. Joe

Yes sir, that is correct. Joe

I am embarking on a repair job to the rear lower part of the quarter panel just behind the door. There seems to be a kind of caulk that is in between this part and the door jamb. Does anyone know what it is? Joe

Rear wheel well parts I am looking for a left side rear wheel welll liner. Also, the small piece of trim behind the drivers side door and the piece of fiberglass below that trim piece which completes the lower front half of the wheel opening.

Unfortunately, I have ordered the part from GM Direct and they do not allow you to cancel. I may try to sell the part on ebay if I can find the correct size at O'Reilly's. All I need now is TIME! Thanks for the suggestion. Joe

Never mind. I just read a great post in another area about timing and it answered all my questions....guess I need to read a little!

Okay, this is my first time so go easy on me (and yes I need to purchase a shop manual and have not). I am about to check my timing and do not know what the scale on the balance means precisely. Here is what I am postulating. Above the TDC is "Advanced" degrees per gradicule and Below the TDC is...

Just an update, I had to purchase the valve online as the local bubba did not actually have the part he thought he could get.

Just as an aside, I purchased a "parts catalog" for C4's off of ebay ($10) shipped. It is Abobe PDFs and comes with V7 of Adobe so you do not have to hunt that. It is really great for drawings with PNs all over the place. Let me know if you are interested and I can send anyone an ebay link to...

I found it locally, but this is about the same deal online. http://www.gmpartsdirect.com Search for GM Part Number 17110854. ~$28.00 for the valve (threads into fuel rail), cap, and gasket.

Recently, I have had my motor apart fixing some oil leaking out of the back valley. I went for the inaugral restart and the car ran a little ruff (have not check timing) and there was gas leaking past the schrader. I did not notice the leakage until after shutdown. Did not have time to restart...

I am attempting to replace my valve (stock) covers and, like a good little shade tree mechanic, I am following the instructions that came with the gasket which stated to install them dry. Now, when I stretch them over the track in the cover and just get them ready to place on the head, the...

Did anyone notice my rather funny salutation of the Jumper cable joke?

Give that man a Cigar! Of course if you are an Alabama trivia nut, you would know that the AL vs TN game ends with the winner smoking cigars as the sign of victory! I also noted that y'alls home state is MS and there is another Great Alabama Alumni staulking the side lines at Miss State...
