need help with injector replacing
I have a 1983 ZX non turbo. I am needing to replace the fuel injector that is closet to the firewall. Do I need to remove the fuel rail to replace the injector? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

its gong to be easiest to pull the fuel rail.
if youve never done it its going to seem like a pain in the ***.
but after a few times it dosent seem that bad....
but then you realize that it is a pain in the ***! so you get a billet fuel rail instead
and never have to deal with the pita again

Make sure you have no flammable objects nearby, as gasoline WILL come from the injector feed line >.> (Wear gloves if you have any cuts or open sores, this brings foul language down to the bare minimum, use a shop towel to collect/mop up spilled gasoline)
Not sure how many bolts are holding it on, I remember it didn't take me long to get it off and put it back on without the FSM.

Remember to de-pressureize the system before pulling a fuel line
And, If I'm remembering right, there is a bolt on the passenger side of the engine, take off the top belt pulley on the front of the engine, two bolts on the intake manifold and the 2 screws on each injector... then it should come out with very little fight... unless I'm forgetting a bolt somewhere...
