That's what I thought it was.
Replies were very helpful. Does anyone know if the part with the wires (B) comes off of the injector (A) and how to release it?
Thanks very much.

Spark plug ring

I have an 87 coupe. I thought I read someplace that the sealing ring for the spark plugs is not used on the aluminum heads.
