I live behind Folsom Lake College on Silberhorn Drive, only a couple of miles away from you. When do you plan on changing them? I'll PM you my phone number, I'd be glad to help. The closest and cheapest I found were at Summit, and they are over the hill in Reno. Most of the local shops can get them, but once you tell them what they are for they add a 200% Corvette Tax, AND tell you that the book says they aren't for a ZR1. Duh. Tognotti's might carry them, and they might even be open tomorrow. There are a couple of ZR1's in our area, Bob N. at the Smog Shop on Blue Ravine has a red '91, and I've seen a red '90 ZR1 at the UC Davis Medical Center over on Iron Point Road.

Re: Fuel Injectors
Cool! Ever since the first time I laid eyes on a ZR-1 I have always looked for the emblem on the rear of passing vettes. With that, I have probably only seen about 10 Z's in my life! One was here at Folsom OSH and was a white one....you?
Tognottis does not carry accell in stock (no suprise), but Summit has them and IS open tomarrow!!! (big suprise) Guess I will be taking a trip to Reno today or tomarrow. I gave them my car year and they claimed to not carry the right injectors, so I grabbed the part numbers from one of your earlier posts and purchased them that way. Hope they work!!!!

The white one was probably Patton's car, he was trying to sell it last year, haven't seen any posts from him since. There are half a dozen or more ZR1's in the general Sacramento area that I know of. I've seen 3 of them. I can't wait to see Bill's car at Vette Magic on June 2. He had his engine PC'd Candy Apple Red, should look SHARP! Think you'll have your Z running by June 2? Vette Magic is the big once a year 'Vette show at the Marriott on Sunrise and I50. Should be HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of 'Vettes... Give me a call, let me know when you plan to yank your plenum and I'll make sure to squeeze it into my schedule. Tom

Re: Fuel Injectors
Well just got back from Reno and have 16 Acell 158021 injectors. The connector is not the same so the groves don't line up. I guess I'm just suppose to work it on til the connector snaps on. My only other concerne is that this new accell injector is slight shorter then the stock ones. Will this cause problems with the fuel rail and how it bolts to the intake runners? I't looks as if I just bolt the fuel rail as is with the new injectors, that the injectors won't fully seat into the injector hole. Any thoughts?
Also....Summit Racing is quite the toy store! |

They don't bottom out into the fuel rail like the original Multecs did, you just clip them into the first slot on the top of the injector, I've had no problems with leakage. Good luck! Tom

Re: Fuel Injectors
I need to replace the injectors,no getting around it but which one?What makes RCs worth twice as much as Accels?Ive heard some horror stories about the Accels,I dont want to do this twice,so I call the tuner everybody trusts and he tells me hes installed over 50 sets with no problems and since his word is golden,Accel it is.Now I call Summit to order a set and they havent got a clue and the guy tells me Accel doesnt make an injector for a ZR-1,plus I want a direct drop in with no mods.Ill call Accel tomorrow and get some info.Im not looking foward to this but it has to be done.How much of a hassle is it to get the cam covers off?
