installed new injectors
Hey all, I called "Fuel Injector Connection" last Friday and received my injectors for my 95 LT1 on Monday. I put them in yesterday afternoon. I had a question and talked to Jon at F.I.C. and he answered it. Followed his instructions and the excellent install guide that was sent with them. Car started right up after I purged the system as he explained,let the car idle for about 20 minutes and then took for a ride. Boy what a difference in how much smoother it idles and runs. This is the company to use when you are ready to replace your old injectors. fast shipping and excellent help if needed. Thanks Jon. brent317
P.S. my car has 127,000 on the clock.

Whenever you change injectors. At least on the L98. That would be a good time to check the torque on your intake bolts. A few of mine weren't torqued to spec.
On the FPR. I know it has a spring in it. Is the spring supposed to rattle around when you shake it?
I'm replacing all the o-rings on the rail. The only o-ring I don't think I'll be able to get to is that small pipe piece that sticks out of the FPR. That piece pulls out and there is another o-ring there inside a groove. But I wasn't able to pull the piece out. So, I'll just replace the o-ring that is visible.

I can attest mine were the same price, really helped the cars performance and service was first rate. My mechanic was shocked at the price. He regularly lets me order out his catalog at his cost and he couldn't beat the price, and what he had wasn't match flowed.
Talked to a guy today on the drive home, was complimenting his 90, he complained a little about the cost of upkeep including the $2,600 the dealer charged him for a new set of injectors. I wish I had more class than to tell him I got mine for $170 plus $75 install.

OK I give up what do you do to rebuild an injector? Bosch and others wind coils edm orifaces and mold it in plastic with very few obvious places to take it apart. You can sonic clean flow and change filters but that seems more like an oil change than a rebuild.
