This might be a bad thing.. but any copper washer will work if that is the case (dont remember them being thick washers, so I dont suppose this is causing your problem).

I agree. But however the Fuel Damper on the fuel rail is not made like the bolt that threads into the top of the Fuel filter. The damper is shaped like a Mushroom. It seems to allow fuel to flow into the banjo fitting and up along the bolt and up into the " Hood " like part at the top. Then down thru the inside of the bolt and out the very bottom. As the one that is on the fuel filter just shoots fuel up into the bottom of the bolt and out a drilled hole in the side of the bolt, and into the banjo fitting from there. The washer as jondee said allows for the top ( Between the " Hood " and the top of the banjo fitting to be sealed and hold the seal evenly around the bolt yet with the " Teeth " in the inside diamiter of the 'Top' washer it will still allow fuel to flow up into the 'Hood' of the Damper.. Or atleast that is how it is pictured in my head..

BUT.. Also as Jondee said a normal washer ( No teeth ) would prevent fuel to flow up into the 'Hood' of the damper, resulting in little or no fuel pressure/flow... In my case however there is no seal at all so its straight flowing from the fitting up into the 'Hood' Of the damper.

So im not completly ruling out that I need this ' washer with teeth on the inside ' as a posiblity i guess..

On a side note what is the timing suppose to be set up as? Im bad with remembering some crap.. I think i remember reading 10* @ BTDC??
I want to check and rule out timing first as I heard it can cause problems like this to happen ( Will start and idle but bogs when revved. ) I think it maybe off due to having to replace the Dizzy and all..
