Not a bad idea...... gasoline spraying everywhere isn't any fun at all. Just yank the fuel pump relay, and the fuse, in the PDC, crank the engine, if it starts, let it run till it quits. Doesn't hurt to be safe.
Got the relay out. Don't see a fuel pump fuse in the PDC or the dash fuse box.
The one below the white connector comes off. There is a tube at the back that goes over top of the intake to the right side fuel rail. That one does not come off. My fuel rail bolts are 1/2" just checked.
Can't get the fuel line below the white connector off, even with the quick disconnect tool. Tragic if I remove the rail with it on? Help!
Yeah, what he said. insert the tool, push the fuel line IN, and try and push the tool into the connector as well. (push 'em toward each other) Then the fuel line should pull right off.
The main fuel line going into the rail on the left side. I've seen it where if it isn't disconnected it can crank (mostly on old lines)
Update: Failed to get the fuel line off last week and worked all weekend. However, I rubbed her the right way and sweet talked her this afternoon and got the fuel line off! Unfortunately, I got rained out for today after removing the throttle body. I'll finish it tomorrow, provided the weather cooperates. Thanks for y'alls help!

Yes replace the plenum gasket and use shorter bolts, most also do an aluminum plate and replace the timing chain with a Cloyes Double Roller.
So I've decided to replace the plenum gasket while I have it apart(Fel-Pro gasket is only $13). You mentioned using shorter bolts. I'm assuming that you mean replacing the plenum cover bolts. Where can I get em? Standard hardware from Ace?
