Re: Just picked up a 91 blk/blk ZR 1 from gateway classics
Well, before changing the injectors, I would want to verify they were in fact needed. This can be done by reading the resistance across them immediately after the engine has reached operating temp.
I have the Accel 150821s and have had NO complaints in the 6 years the car has had them. But, the price you quoted is only for 8 injectors. Alas, the LT5 is home for 16 injectors. (So, that doubles the reason to check them out. Raise your hand if you need info on performing the injector resistance check.) FIC (C link) is a supporter of the ZR-1 as well, and they include gaskets with an order (get the NEW stainless steel injectors!)

Re: Just picked up a 91 blk/blk ZR 1 from gateway classics
I'm in Brooklyn (Park Slope) but my car is in Fishkill (Dutchess County). Likely, yes, the fuel injectors need replacing, but they may already have been replaced.
You can easily check whether they're good or not by checking the resistance... a very useful post is here: http://www.zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?p=17299 (and patting myself on the back, as I made the diagram lol) Regards Steve |
