Default Questionable Fuel Injectors for 89 C4

Hello, Mike here, new to the forum and to the Corvette world. Recently bought my tired C4 (field find) for 4k and hoping to bring her back to life on a budget. My first big project is replacing the fuel injectors which I found on ebay, but I am hesitant to believe the seller that these are a fit for any Chevys at all. When I Google "0280150943 bosch fuel injectors" I get a whole lot of Ford related results. Has anyone ever used these on your Vette? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Those injectors seem to be the older style body, but the 4 hole pattern where the older style body is usually a single hole. I have read of recommendations on older cars to upgrade to the newer style injector like the Bosch III. Not only is it a 4 hole, but it is a more efficient design. I would look at these injectors for your 89. I'm not 100% sure, but I think these are the ones for you. Part number Bosch 0280155710. Those are rated at 20 lbs, 14.5 ohms. I see them around $50 for a set of 8 on ebay.
