Default Fuel Injector Replacement?

All,

I have a few bad injectors on my 1985 C4 and need to replace them. I have a lightly used set (<200miles) of ford bluetop injectors. Do I need to do any adjustment of fuel pressure or reprogramming to install these on my 1985?
You guys are awesome!

they will fit right in with no mods to the ecu as the stockers are 24lbs also.. used injectors have a tendency to stick when they sit, before installing them see if you can get them to pulse before installing them.. if your car runs, disconnect 1 injector and use that wire while idling to see if it pulses, you should be able to hear it.
