[RESOLVED] I lost 1 of 3 black spacers for fuel rail

buy a bunch of washers same size and stack them up as a replacement, or buy one from junkyard, slowboyracing, extremepsi.com or dealer. I'd buy the washers.
 
They always have to order it. Last time I went in, they had three spark plugs and had to order me my fourth. regardless, thanks for all your help guys, I found it!!! It just have gotten knocked by a tired me off the workbench onto the floor under the car! I put all three in last night and finished reassembling the car after changing out my injectors for 550s! I took my time, did a nice job and the car fired up the first time and runs awesome! I was finally able to run over 12-13 psi of boost without stumbling. I was running 18-19 psi of boost clean. This is the first time I have been able to run over 12-13 psi of boost since I puton the FP BigT28!:talon:
 
I ran with only two spacers for quite some time. I ran two on the outside without the middle one. It's nothing to fret over. Just tighten the outside two down first (the ones with spacers), and do the middle last and make sure not to go too tight. Never had a problem with it. Then I found more. No big deal at all.
 
Glad to hear you found it. Next time you have to take out the rail, you can put a dab of RTV (very little) on the bottom of the spacers to help keep them in those little holes on the intake manifold.

The dealers usually don't stock most parts for our cars since they're older. I don't even expect my dealer to carry anything which is why I usually order it. And if I really need something soon, I either go to my local dealer and pay the ridiculously high prices or just have an online place ship it faster.
