Default Accel Fuel Injectors?

Does anyone have any experience with Accel Fuel Injectors? My mechanic Informs me I have 3 bad injectors and the Accel's seem to be reasonable. I have the Accel super coil and 8.8 mm plug wires on the car now and they seem to be OK.
If These are not so good could you reccommend some?
Thanx Gary

I wouldnt use accel if you gave them to me.

Get some Ford SVO #24s, and an adjustable pressure regulator.

Accels are much maligned here, but others use them and defend them. But given the choice, the Fords are likely the better choice based on the threads. Last i looked on summitt, the prices were fairly close.

I personally have never had any problems with them. Guess who makes the Ford Motorsports, Accel, early GM injectors? You guessed it, BOSCH.

Really? My Ford's have a green top and say Denso on them. They're supposed to be 24lbs/hr.

Madz28 and Alvin at PCMForLess (both highly respected PCM programmers) have posted in the past about NOT using Accel injectors.

could be a ''walmart reduced quality to meet distributor price'' thing...like the goodyear tires that are only sold at wallietown and are junk...so many places to cut corners in any manifacturing process--basic materials, tolerances, final inspection parameters,etc...maybe bosch rejects do not go to the dump....i can remember when champion spark plugs were good....gotta go with experience, learn from others who are willing to share theirs

Don't use Python or Venom brand injectors, either. Both are ghetto garbage.

I am about to replace my injectors from a previous thread where it looks like i have leaky injectors...

would there be certain models to get of these ford injectors, or do all injectors have the same threads and connectors on them?
