I,m hoping my injectors will fix my idle problems and get my hp back up into the 360's,maybe reversing the actuators will help some.
I would just buy new ones. If you turn them around now you will more than likely have future trouble. The rubber diaphragm has now taken a shape from heat cycling and being installed as it has. When you flip them around the brittle rubber is forced into a new position and will eventually crack. Think of a wire hanger when you bend it back and forth quickly to break it in half, same concept.

If you do get new ones, check them with a vacuum gauge and make sure they pull in straight & evenly. I went through 11 cans before finding 2 that were perfect.

When I reassembled the secondary system, I put a dab of white assembly lube on every moving pivot point. My secondaries work flawlessly and without any lag time.
