The injectors I took out had a redish top so we thought they were NA injectors but NOOO they were 87.5-88 TII injectors....I think they were just f'd up so thats why they cut out on me and pulled poorly(for those who saw them you saw how f'd up they were). So the same goes for the secondaries as well. Older cars like fb's and fc's use peak hold and the newer ones like mine use the saturated, so the orange 680 from erics NA are low impedance and will not work either. I am so relieved....now to get my hands on some.

Also to tell the difference for future reference the gray TII 550 inj have the connector notch key in the middle and the 87.5-88 redish injectors have it off to the side but both have the same NSN's
wow rueben! thats good to know. i never knew that. ill call you later with some questions.

the hood scoop is the wrong impedance.
erick, wanting to paint my car soon, how much did all your paint and clear cost? Should I keep it s4 body or go s5 since i already bought all the side moldings?
