Disregard - <----idiot misaligned with the bracket on wrong side of lip, goes on the face vice the backside. Just needed to sit and look at it for a bit and the lightbulb came on.
On the positive side, new fuel hoses from Len installed along with Lucas fuel injectors today - and after a couple of weeks waiting for parts and prepping, once I got the hoses R&R took about 2.5 hours, another 2 hours tidying up the engine bay, and then about 1.5 installing the fuel rails and new injectors - all 1st time for me. Whole body hurts - BUT, about 15 seconds cranking and she fired right up, settled into a nice idle pretty quickly, and out importantly - after a 15 minute drive, did not notice any leaks. I wiped down some of the engine with Gunk wipes which had a bad odor once the engine heated up, but no FUEL smell.
Very happy right now, and look forward to getting some miles - on to the next item on the checklist.
