[QUOTE="valkyrie302, post: 1488399, member: 28819"] Hello! I’m very new to both this forum and the world of Mustangs. I’ve owned my first Mustang, a 1995 GT with a 302, for about a year now, but have only recently started seriously tinkering with it. I recently attempted to replace the dizzy and set timing, but messed up and had to start over. When I was putting the wires back on, I noticed that my fuel line closest to the front on the passenger side fuel rail seems VERY loose - I can easily slide it back and forth with little effort to the point I’m afraid I’ll slip it off by accident. The metal piece at the top seems firmly in, but the rubber hose almost seems like it isn’t attached at all anymore. See the attached picture - I can freely move the rubber hose here with no resistance. The rest are not nearly this loose. [ATTACH type="full"]11291[/ATTACH] Is there a way to tighten the hose down? My distributor is in and I want to try firing it up, but I don’t want to risk getting fuel everywhere if we might have knocked the hose loose or depressurized it somehow. Since it appears the hose is disconnected from the metal head, will I need an entirely new line? Or, is this normal on a sitting car and I’m just a moron? Sorry if this is a dumb question or asked before, I’m still figuring things out as I go. Any advice would be greatl [/QUOTE]
