After searching through the numerous injector threads, I'm leaning toward the Ford injectors. However, I can't find a 22.5# injector offering. Should I round up to 23# (FMS-M-9593-M23)? If so, Is it worth the extra ~$75 for a "balanced" set (all 8 to within 1% vs the std. 7%)? Will running the 23# require modifications? I have a rich AFR issue (already had to replace all the cats) and found 5 of 8 injectors to fail the ohm test. Also, do the Ford injectors tick louder as a rule?
I saw Ecklers had reman. GM injectors for a good price. Takes the guess work out. I would have opted for this. I have Fords in my '91 - they run great but tick loudly.

Glad you got a good set. Others have not been as lucky with five0.

Used Injectors from Five O
I purchased some injectors from Five O, who claimed that they were new, but when I received them they smelled like gasoline.
Had nothing but problems with the injectors and terrible customer service. I would not recommend them...don't do it!

I finally got around replacing my fuel injectors. I chose to go with Accel P/N 150821. These are Accel's catalog 21# (don't know what PSI) and also their recommended stock replacement. After cleaning parts, replacing gaskets and bolting everything back, she fired right up! I've got great power and throttle response. No more RPM hunting and the cats aren't heating up red. All kinds of fun driving this past weekend. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the help and let you all know it turned out well.
