Default fuel rail question
I am a few days from installing my old fuel rail and injector assy.

To my knoledge these are the factory injectors etc.

Do I need to replace the O Rings on the injectors before install? I read that I should vasoline prior to install.
Are there other points of the fuel rail assy that needs new seals prior to re-install.
Project is mostly stock 1989 corvette. Balanced long block is getting ready for install.

Thanx
