1990 Replacement Fuel Injectors
Hello,
After sitting for quite a long time with minimal start up, it appears I have lost several injectors. After running her for a while and getting her warmed up, she could barely hold an idle.
Long story short, 3 of the injectors test w/ very low resistance with the multimeter. I would like to replace all 8, and have been quote $180 each from Chevy. Can anyone recommend good quality, reasonably priced alternatives ?
Thank You!
Rusty
PS this is not ZR1

I would not but rebuilts or Accels. I just put a set of Trcik Flow in my 88. They work great. Here's a link:

I have a set on Accel's on my car, and they work great. Just do not buy the old yellow tops, they are the ones with problems. Do a search, there are several brands available. Forum member Racetronix sells a set of 24 lb injectors for under $300.00. then do a search on Sam Lamb, he is a forum member has a great write up on replacing the injectors w/o removing the runners. You will need a set of "o" rings for the fuel rail. This would also be a good time to install an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
Good luck, let us know how you make out.

Your computer isn't tuned for 24. Stick to stock unless you retune, which seems pointless just for injectors.
