Stock MulTecs should be 16.0 ohms +/- .5

But, when I had my 89 the injectors ohm'ed out at 12 ohms each and it ran fine. I was told my a chevy tech that this was ok as long as their all within a 1/2 ohm of each other?

I think the factory specs for 89 thru 91 GM Multecs are 16.5 +/- .3 ohms. The resistance will increase as the injectors warms up. Low reading are an indication that the injector coil windings are starting to short out. Be very careful running the car when you have single digit injector resisance. This injector will draw additional current and can damage the injector drivers in the ECM.

It sounds like someone has already replaced your original Multec injectors as all appear to have the same resistance level.
