IMPORTANT! Randy I need your help PRONTO!

Randy,

Yeah, I seem to be having a streak of bad luck with my Cobra. I went to install a new throttle body and I had to cut out the center portion of my plenum/upper intake. A piece that I cut fell inbetween my runners and ended up getting stuck there, so I had to remove my upper and lower intake to get down to my IMRC's.

Good news is, I got the piece out (big sucker too). Bad news is, I can see now how much the previous owner really neglected this car. Like, neglected hardcore. Minus the 9 quarts of oil I found in the engine after I first got the car (that was a fun oil change) I have now discovered that this guy didnt even keep up with basic maintence on the car. This car was made in 95, its 10 years old, most people would have the fuel system checked to see if there are any problems or potential problems. In getting down to my IMRC's, I have found two very large ones.

1 (Most Important))One of my Composite gaskets for my IMRC's is torn. I cant use it now because, obviously, its torn. How fast can you get me one and how much is it going to run me?

2) About half of my fuel injectors are so dated that they have cracks in the base pieces. All of the o-rings are good, but the orange cones at the base on about a third of them are cracked. This would explain why I have been running rich for quite a while now. I can get 24# fuel injectors through work (Steeda or otherwise) but I wanted to know what your price on a set would be for me.

Get back to me ASAP on this. Im really pissed off at this owner because he has done jack **** to keep this car up to snuff. When I got the thing I had to turn the steering wheel to the left to drive straight and I had a quarter bald tire on the right. The moron couldnt have even gotten an alignment done on the car. Im lucky the engine is still running.

Let me know what you can do.

I can get the injectors from work, I think im just going to go ahead and replace them outright.

I need the IMRC to intake gasket. Can you check around zip 19064 to see if anyone has any around me? If not ill call you or something along those lines to get those gaskets from you.

Raaaaandy......

Yeah, um...yeah.....

I sheared off a bolt on the front of the manifold. I seem to be underestimating my strength when im torquing everything down.

I need the bolt that is at the very front of the lower manifold that the alternator bracket and the coolant lines bolt onto. Would you happen to have that part number? Luckily I can get the thing out easily, I just need a replacement.

God im so stupid.
