My vehicle has that Vortec engine with the spider injector system in it. Recently I had to change the fuel pressure regulator which is under the plenum so I had to pull the fuel line out to remove the plenum. Well, now I can't get the fuel lines to go back into the part where the fuel injectors are. Sorry, not sure what it's called. Lol. Can anyone tell me an easy way to do this or even a hard way? I just want to get it back together and I can't seem to figure out how. Thanks

I am pretty sure you need to install the meter unit, lines and injectors as an assembly. I understand the issue that you are seeing but you are not going to be able to get them installed once you have the other components installed.

Can you get some pictures of what you are dealing with and maybe we can come up with the best plan to get this completed?

Whenever you get this put back together it is a good idea to not only inspect for leaks but check the fuel pressure as well

Here is a guide that will help with doing this:
