I used the plastic ones just yesterday on my 94 parts car. You spread the plastic ring apart and slip it over the pressure fitting on the fuel line. The pressure fittings are located on the passenger side down by the splash guard. Once the tool is on the connection, just jam the sleeve of it into the fuel rail side of the line.
You'll feel it pop into place, next step would just be to yank the lines apart.

I'd have to go look at my car to double check, but my 87 donor didn't have those, and my 92 did.

I think they have relay's plugged into them. Then they just mount to the side of the strut tower with those push lock plastic tabs.

Yep those are relays. Your gonna run into trouble with that harness. Your 91 has the fuel pump relay under the driver seat. One of those relays in the pic is the fuel pump relay for the 93. Stop now and sell the harness. You need to find a harness from a 91. They are stand alone harnesses. I'm doin the swap right now on my 93 and at first I thought I could use the v8 harness from the 91 parts car. Turns out you can't w/o modifying the harness. I found a 93 harness on eBay and unforunately a few weeks back I sold my 91 harness or I woulda sold it to you.

I didn't mean those were the actual relays, those are the relay connectors.

lmao true, they do say that, i look at the description, it says it was pulled from a 91, and will fit 90 to 93, and in the pic it dose not look like the 93 harness so i should be set or ill go to his house lol. hey do you know where i could find a head liner, mines tore up it was a girls car and she got busy in the back seat alot, there were foot marks and finger marks at the rips lol, i cant find them at junk yards so a website that sells them at a good price would help. thanks agan man

You should be good if the description said 91. And I always buy my stuff from 50resto.com. I have headliner in a box waiting to be installed that I bought from them.
