Default One final injector question...

I bought a used set of Ford 24's. They have roughly 1000 miles on them. Any dangers to putting these right in? Any way to tell good from bad. I am pretty sure they are good, I know they guy I purchased them from, but would still like a say from here. Any help is appreciated.

Put them in and try them out would be my suggestion.

I did a Click test on mine. When I went to start my motor it wouldnt run, 1 of the 8 injectors were still good, the other 7 had closed up.

I had an injector pigtail form my 9th injector that was removed, and used it to test my new injectors to make sure they clicked.

Could be done with wire if you had two people...
As far as spray goes, no way to test that without taking it to a shop.

Used or new, I would have them checked. Just got a set of FMS 30's for my 383. Paid about $100 over the Jegs price to buy them already tested and flow matched.

The shop specializes in injectors and buys new and used in bulk. They say out of 100 new injectors 4-6 don't work properly right out of the box. The others vary in flow by 4-10%. :eek:
