Yeah, sorry about the upside down pics. My computer displays them right side up automatically.
The left grommet is missing. AFAIK, it was gone when I got the truck. Napa will sell me a whole new plug with wires and grommet (for $$$), but not just the grommet. How important is the grommet?

Good to know. I'll make a note of it.

You're right, the supply line is almost 1/16th inch bigger (OD). So, when I replaced the fuel filter, I disconnected the return line first, then the supply line, which leaked a bunch o' gas. I suspect that the flooding was due to the gas from the supply line leaking down through the distributor shaft, in which case, my original post-TBI-rebuild problem was probably NOT flooding, but something else.

Will do! Need to get a test tee that works with my pressure guage first. My guage has a small rubber hose on a small barbed fitting, and reads up to 70 PSI. Looks like that non-original section of fuel hose is the best place to tie in.

I wonder why someone did that... BTW, the old fuel filter did not have any restrictions in it.

How do you prop the bed up when you do it? I don't think 2x4s will work with the canopy mounted, and I have no place to park the canopy.
