Nice to see this installed, thanks for posting. Can you elaborate?
Do the fuel rails or AN fittings touch the engine tin?
Nothing touches the engine tin, they mount on the same posts as the factory pressure/retaining plate. My existing injectors no longer had the L-shaped hose and were on short straight hose pieces from the injector body to the factory fuel rail/pipe. The Injector Rehab kit essentially occupies the same space.

How rigid is this assembly? Its cantilevered, what are the possibilities that it will deflect enough to cause the injector bodies to become dislodged?
It's solid. I think you would need to strike it very hard to dislodge it after it's tightened down, and even then I think other stuff would be bending/breaking first.
QUOTE
Are these post engine install only? It appears that the fuel rails would conflict with the engine shelf on each side if the engine were dropped.
Possibly. I didn't drop the engine to install, so I don't know. I agree it does look that way from my photos though.

Do the fuel injector branches on the harness really need to be extended? From the photos, there appears to be plenty of harness left if the harness connections are correctly rotated. Be sure to cover any exposed wires 100% in heat shrink. Engine heat will be the death of the exposed wires in short order.
No, but the Jetronic connectors I bought came on pigtails and I just crimped them in as such. I used heat-shrink around all my connections and then bundled the covered connections inside a third piece of heat-shrink, but you're right—I should probably wrap the pigtails with something heat reflective.
QUOTE
Also concerned about the same condition in your existing harness by cyl #3 in the second photo, and hope those wires are not already baked.
A lot of stuff on this car is well baked already, LOL. I'll look into wrapping the exposed parts of the harness with when I address the pigtails.
Cheers!
