I finally got around to installing the IPD flame trap relocation kit on the '81 245 yesterday. Not surprisingly, I found that the hose from the bottom of the fuel distributor to the flame trap was hard as rock. What I couldn't figure out was how to replace it -- the hose swivels at the fuel distributor, but didn't want to come off. Is there some kind of clamp buried in the internals? I managed to jam the new flame trap into the end of the shortened hose a bit, but since the rubber is so hard, I'm not very confident that it will stay there! So now what do I do?

Also, I'm hoping this is a non-issue, but in cleaning the constant idle valve, I found that the electical connector end is not terribly well sealed to the housing (by closing the outlet and blowing into the inlet, air goes out through the connector end). Is that slight gap likely to cause a vacuum problem? The idle is probably acceptable, but not as smooth as one might like.
