    accumulator 99 yukon

    I did feel for more fasteners, but found none. Upper manifold does rise more than an inch in front enough for the manifold to clear the ejector body thingy. It does feel like its bolted ....... Start again tomorrow, lots of little time consumers have slowed progress.

    Been a while since I've posted, but need to work on my Yukon again.
