1988 Fuel Injectors two different kinds?
I have four injectors, but not sure what I have. I was told that they were for a 1988 Corvette. They are two different types. What do I have? The ORANGE tipped injectors have # 5235211on them. The Silver tipped injectors have # 5235302. All four were in GM Delco boxes with 17111961 on the lids. Help!

Not sure what you have, but if they are used and of different types as you exlpained I wouldn't put them on my car. It's better to get 8 new ones of the same brand. You don't want different lb injectors in the cylinders. Lot of work to have to do it again. Maybe someone else can help on the description.

I forget if 88 used Multecs or not, but that would likely be the issue. They are so bad that they just get thrown away and replaced as they go bad.

Here is some info from Rich Jensen at Cruzin Performance on this topic and it may help you:
I don't sell any injectors so I can't help with supplying replacements but if you do find a set of the earlier design injectors I can service those and they have a very good track record of long life and serviceability. The part numbers you would be looking for are: 1986 = 5235211, 1987 and 1988 = 5235302. These are the part numbers that are on the injectors themselves. They are not the part numbers that would be listed in a GM parts catalog.
Hope this is helpful.
