Default 1989 L98, Will these injectors work?

I have a newly re-manufactured set of Injectors the number off the injector is #17121068, other numbers researched found on line, MP3022, FI8#32-11124. The listing shows 1994-95 Camaro 5.7L, 1994 LT1 Corvette.
My question: Will these injectors work, or fit well in my 1989 L98 Corvette without any modifications? Some local enthuses said I need to add a adjustable fuel regulator. Any insight on this would be extremely helpful.

they are 24lb multecs. they fit but you need to have the computer tuned for them. A tune is about 150- 175 plus shipping your prom. You can get a sset of Bosch 3's that will drop right in for 169. you can sell the 24's for close to 100 on e bay or this forum.

I was misinformed, was told they were 22# injectors, I appreciate you bringing me up to date. Also if this helps, I forgot to mention there is a stage 3 chip installed. Would I still need to have my prom adjusted? Last, so an adjustable fuel regulator is not necessary? I'm an old school C1 fuelie guy and new at this TPI, and really appreciate your patience.

the chip if programmed for a stock 89 is going to have an injector constant of 22, the afpr is not necessary because you would have to run the multecs at 34psi.. at that lower pressure they do not perform properly, secondly the multecs are not really a good injector IMO. I broke in the business on early rochester fueli.. I used to restore them and/or convert them to EFI..

Good to know! I was lucky that FICINJECTORS replied to my thread, I was unaware up until a few hours ago that Jon Banner and FICINJECTORS are one in the same. Jon's name was brought up every instance, either here at the forum or over at the NCRS site. Very highly recommended, and with your addition of compliments that speaks volumes. At the present time, I sure could use some luck.
