since they are shorter, what if anything did you do different when installing?

There is 2 grooves on the top, which did you use for the clip?

Just verifying what I did, I think all is good, but don't know yet

Have you started that beast yet ? The set I had only had one grove for the clip. What set did you end up with?

Here's a few pics from last year when I did the FIC injectors. The four slots that hold the rail down to the IH's had to be oblonged upward about 3/8".

I should also add that I had to push the dimple next to the screw on the injector bracket inward with my vice to allow the bracket to sit flush against the rail after oblonging the screw location.

Looks like a differing view on the install here... with the FIC Bosch injector package this note is included:

Thus when looking at the FIC injectors note top "full circumference slot>>>

Thus when installed looks like this>>

Also for those who use a different brand (like Accel) injector and hear about 'grinding off the tab' here is what is meant (did this for Glenn's car when we replaced his injectors)>>>

Note was not in the box with mine, but then, there is a LONG Story that goes along with my injectors.

anyway, I need to reinstall to the upper groove. going to do that before taking the car out

okay.. did injectors per instructions

drove car 2 maybe 3 miles.. car runs like **** and is loading up..

Had an oil issue I think is resolved

puled plenum to install my OEM injectors, checked them first I have 3 more bad ones

emailed FIC and Jon called me.. I checked the injectors for leaks, I have one leaking..

he is sending me a replacement.. I also elongated the holes in the Fuel rail bracket. since I am using later model IH I am wondering if the injectors are not seating all the way and i am getting a vacuum leak..

Went through this last year.. what a pain..

Jeff remind me again why do we think so highly of our cars again,,,,,,,,funny thing all was along I thought my cars were for driving.

So your saying three of the new or old are bad ? Is just one leaking ? Do you have one or two style injectors , forgot.

For what it's worth, I replaced all my injector w/ FIC Bosch units and it solved all my problems.
For 93 - 95, primary and secondary injectors are identical except for electrical connectors. They are both 21 lb injectors.

Good luck!

right but my car does not like them for some reason.. I have 3 bad Multecs but got more from Ken to have a good set, I will install multecs again for now

Not sure why I am having issues with the Bosch from FIC. I had one leaky from FIC, he is sending me a replacement and we did talk about on the phone today.. I will have the stuff from him this week but I have a full set of Multecs right now.. so I may install them to be sure there is no issue

Brad,

Yes Jon knows I have late housings

Looking at FIC site, 90-92 injecor set pictured shows different primary and secondary injectors - especially the tip and o-ring configuration.
For 93-95, apart from elec. connector tab location are identical.
If you have 93-95 injector housing, either primary or secondary may not be seating properly in the housing.
Do your primaries and secondaries look the same?

Correct 93-95 IH.. all are seating fine, compared to the multecs the O-ring is at the same position.. I am wondering if the O-ring is too small.. and not sealing

I was able to get 3 Multecs (thanks Ken) so I will try the car tomorrow after work.. I just got done putting it together
