One loose clamp...and it doesn't have to be that loose...and you'll have vacuum leaks.. 21 inches of vacuum is a lot...clamps have to be tightened down securely...the hose collapses a little under the clamp so compensate for that and give that clamp that extra 1/4 turn or so to compensate. I did this and have been rewarded with outstanding idle quality and response...the throttle feels like it's connected to your brain, not your foot.

I'm on this job for my new to me 85. Last time I did it on a 32 valve was my 86.5 in 2008. Struggling to get the fuel rail off.

PBlaster and way more force on either end than you might think prudent as you rock from front to back. Also did you remove the clips to give the option for the injector o-rings to let go from the top or the bottom?

Got them. Damn, you are right - way more force than you think is prudent!
