I spoke with John at corvetteinjectors.com today and he was very helpful. I ordered the New Lucas injectors and should have them in a few days. I will post an update once the install is complete. Any other recommended maintenance or inspections while I have the plenum off.

Good idea. I think the plug wires are fairly new so I will check them with the multimeter(what specs should I expect for good condition). Also, what is the best way to check the coils? I already pulled a couple plugs to check the condition and they looked ok. The previous owner said the engine has eaten a few plugs in the past(don't know if this is normal or caused by other factors). Recommendations on plugs?

I reinstalled the new fuel injectors and the fuel rails yesterday before the sun went down. I have a question on the three electrical connectors that attach under the intake plenum. The only part designation I could find was 6ped and 7ped. Am I looking in the wrong place for part numbers or is there a corresponding number. I want to replace the connectors since they are brittle and one clip broke upon removal. I have looked at several online connector websites, but I don't think I have the right part number.

I have also been trying to find the correct replacement for the Ignition Module connectors, but I haven't had any luck so far.

Here are the connectors for a 1990:




The later model LT5's also have a connector for the Secondary Vacuum Pressure Sensor.

Please let us know if you find anything.

Google search is your buddy.
http://www.repairconnector.com/categ...IL-CONNECTORS/

Providing the connectors are not in real bad shape. Sometimes they can be held together with a tie strap or two.

Starter went. Hear a high pitch spinning but it is not engaging the motor. Anyone know where to get a rebuild kit?
