Default What is this...

On some of the fuel injectors at the bottom, some have a plastic like cap on the very end. The injectors on mine, a '88, doesn't have them. What are they and what purpose do they serve? Thanks

Gary

the injectors that were stock on my '85 had a brown cap or hat looking end on them, the new one that i have don't. i know that there are different injectors for different years that will still work, regardless of the end. :cheers:

The ones with the "hat" on the end are "pintle" style fuel injectors. There are if I remember right 4 different major styles of injectors out there, this is just one of them.
