That means they're scrap metal!


I normally hate to post overly simplistic posts, but......

http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/pictureguides/injectors/injectors.html (http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/pictureguides/injectors/injectors.html)  has pictures of injectors.  Check it out and see if any match up.

If you cannot put a number to them, they are scrap metal...color means virtually nothing.....an d they damn well had numbers on them at one time...

you could send a hundred bux to Chuck L and have them flowed, I guess

I think it's more than $100 (plus shipping X2), then the impossible nightmare of getting a chip that works with unknown injectors (plus shipping X1) that may or may not be big enough to even work with a stocker.

....but then again, what do I know, I need to shut the Q@#@# up! These engines hold up just fine when a cyl or two goes lean at WOT.

Shmed is only middle aged, but, I think Canadians are just naturally grumpy!

Wish I had one of those cow killers....

Black on the top and Gray on the bottom, is what my old set of 50lb'ers looked like.  http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/pictureguides/injectors/50lb.html (http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/pictureguides/injectors/50lb.html)

That well might be what they are-I went out and looked at one and it looks like that pic

I have not had any luck with old injectors that have been sitting out of use for much time, but, a cleaning would verify if they come in around 50# at 43.5 psi of fuel pressure.....o r if they work...

That's not very constructive Steve!  The chip burner might want to know what they flow at other pressures too. The might be nonlinear like those 009s....

....or a couple hundred clams later they could flow 18#'s   :icon_lol:

The beauty of the 50's was that they flowed parallel to the stock chip so any Tom, Dick, or Harriet could change the injector constant and claim to be a chip burner....
