So it begun...

I finally got some time to start my fuel system swap. I replaced the ignition a couple of months ago and have been very satisfied with the result, lower fuel consumption and the car has feld a little more responsive. 

I really hope the change of an old (but still functional) mechanical fuel system to a modern electronic one will make a difference in the engines behaviour. Time will tell...

Air cleaner removed...
Fuel system removed.

I've started to remove the fuel distributer without disconnecting any fuel-lines. When I removed the brackets holding every pair of injectors in place, the injectors almost popped out themself. At a closer look it seems like the Oring seals are warn out, very hard and deformed and most likely it has drawn some air this way. I manage to disconnect everything without any problem so I will start to clean and maby paint as much as I can while I can reach some of the parts.
Removed almost everything in one piece...
A deformed sealing...
