major fuel issue with a capital M

Good evening all,

Im hoping someone out there on this forum can be a bit more helpful than some in the trans am forums. I have a 94 Trans Am and of course it has the LT-1 under the hood. I recently dealt with the intake manifold gasket leak and repaired it with a gasket and the rtv seal. I started the car after replacing the intake and it began to blow pure gasoline out somewhere between #5 and #7. I checked the fuel lines and they are snug and not leaking. Obviously it's something I did during the operation as there was no issue like this prior to replacing the gaskets. The injectors all appear to be working correctly. Can anyone out there point me in the right direction??? HELP!!!!!

Did you check the injector seals to make sure the injectors are completely seated in the manifold and the fuel rail?

Yah, injector seals. I had it just the other day after having my heads off. VERY easy fix.

i would also check the cross overs and the fuel regulator just to make sure. everybody loves fireballs, but the insurance company won't be to happy.
