fuel injectors - 4/28/2008 1:29:00 PM    LOUDexhaust   Posts: 603 Joined: 5/8/2006 Status: offline I have plans to shoot for 300 rwhp this summer and will need new fuel injectors. I'm thinking a c&l 76mm maf tuned to 24#s. I want to save some money and get all this used. I have reason to believe the previous owner of my car replaced the injectors, how can i tell what is in there by looking at them? If I need to get different injectors, i would like to get them from the junkyard. I have heard that some continentals have 24#ers, along with the mark 8. Are there any others and how do I identify them?(heard they may have light blue tops) Post #: 1

Are the ones in the t-birds the same? I also found some of the light blue top ones in a Mark but someone threw em on the ground and they were covered in sand and dirt, could only find 7 of them too.

If you had 24's installed while the car was still SD, then you would have known something was wrong...  White top injectors are ~17Lb if I recall.... not sure though. Point is, they aren't an upgrade. _____________________________ My name is jason Formerly known here as 'vristang' I am trying to behave and fly under the radar Ssshhh! http://tunexchange.mustang-tech.org/ http://www.freewebs.com/vristang/index.htm (in reply to mattwright101) Post #: 7
