Default Injector Questions

Hey Everyone!

I just took apart my intake to replace the lower intake with a ported one. As I was reassembling it, I decided to check everything while I had it apart.

My TPI was running very rough until it warmed up. I had seen somewhere that it may be a bad injector(s).

I ohm'd all 8, and got readings from 6.5-8.5- From what I have read, this is too low.

The way I did it was reading the resistance between the 2 pins where the plug goes. Did I do it correctly? I have never checked an injector before, so I could be totally wrong.

The engine in question is a 350 out of an '86 Vette. They're stock, so I was thinking of replacing them anyway.

If I do need new ones, do you have any suggestions as to what to buy, and where to get them from?

Thanks!

More than likely they are bad. Should be up around 16.

I replaced my stock L98 injectors with 21lb Accels and lost measurable power, do not recommend using them.

I have some Bosch 3s for $30 shipped if you need them. Much better than stock due to 4 hole pintle and plastic body. Part# 0280155700/710
