Default Accell Injectors suck

Hi All, anyone got a bead on a set of flow matched injectors for an 87? My Accell 24's are flooding my motor.

There is an Ebay seller that has serviced injectors for a good price. Somewhere around $140 for a set. Just a thought

If you kept your old injectors, you can send them out for servicing. About $100 to service all 8 and about $10 to service the cold start valve if you still have it.

Default only one problem with servicing

the best thing you can do is get rid of those old rochester injectors. wasting a hundred plus shipping and the car down makes no sence when you can get reconditioned bosch 22lb injectors that make the car run great. everyone will tell you that multec injectors are a time bomb. clean or not they will self destruct.

I have seen many posts where people recommend placing 24 pounders in a 22 pound engine. Sometimes it works.....and sometimes it does not. This post is a testament of the "NOT"! I guess some think that more fuel is better......like the old days

If the Accel 24's actualy flowed at 24 they would be fine, however, the Accel's are flowing closer to 34, thats where the problem is. I have adjusted my computer to compensate for this, however, they are also not flowing evenly between the cylnders. I have some rich and some lean. I hear they have switched manufacturers since I purchased mine. I just feel sorry for those who believe Summit Racing when they say no computer modifications are needed. Those people are going to have an extremly short engine life.

Just curious, how were you able to determine the flow rate was about 34 lb/hr? WOW.....that is WAY out of their published spec
