TorcTite C/Ns
The NAPA C/Ns for the TorcTite clamps is BK733-3224, cost was $12.69 per.
They are what I would call Lap-Type, where one pipe fits inside of another. The other type, not needed for this system install would be a Butt-Type where both pipes are the same diameter and fit together.
...welcome! I'll get you NAPA C/Ns for the "lap-type band clamps" (reducing) tonite.
The DiamondEye system was complete except for these better clamps.

I can't say enough good things about this package. It is...
I'll be posting a several threads of some work I did over the New Years weekend. I'm not going to rehash a lot of what I've seen here and other forums, mainly because I've got limited time to do this web publishing. I will focus on points I have not seen discussed.
Pardon the photo quality...
just a month ago, I posted about my similar probs. Turned out to be wiring to the WG soln valve. right at the connector, check it.
All gone now though, installed a TurboMaster a couple of days ago. project thread coming.
new injectors & GPs today
Today I'm about to finish a project I started earlier this week: new injectors (NAPA Eichlin - Bosch 0 430 211 097, body stamped "India", old Bosch injectors were stamped "Germany"), ACDelco 60GS glowplugs. I was getting white smoke on startup, wasn't sure of the age...
The radio's bulbs are soldered in, I just replaced my radio with a used radio that had all good bulbs. Didn't feel like tackling that mini-project.
I replaced all my climate control panel bulbs w/ new ones from NAPA. Believe it or not, the stealer said they don't have a listing for the...
