Injectors: 195500-1370 w/a red top?

I came across a set of 195500-1370 injectors, and I've traced them back to an RX-7. Here's my confusion.. the tops are red. All I've found for this number is they're 550's, but would have to be a tan or purple top, and that redtops are 460's? Anyone have any idea what's up with these darn things? Thanks.

Are they oval or rectangular plugs?
Is the "key" in the center or offset?

That -1370 part number covers both high and low impedence 550's.
And I think even the 460's?

Here's a pic of one. Sorry about the crappy quality, this was taken with my camera phone. Hopefully this answers things you may need to know:

550 cc/minute
high-impedence
They are out of a 1988 Turbo II.

Excellent! Thank you very very much. Mind if I ask how you know that (not that I doubt you, I'm just curious)? Also, I found that my DSM clips fit over them, so they should work, correct?

That part number is the same on both 88 Turbo injectors (550cc high imp) and 86-87 Turbos(550cc low impedance), but the color tops were different. The 86-87 injectors were tan, and the 88s were a redish purple. So yours has to be the 88 style. All 89-91 injectors had oval plugs( as well as different part numbers), whereas the 86-88 had the square connectors. They changed over from low impedance to high impedance ~mid 87.

Yes, it's a popular DSM mod to do stealing the FC fuel injectors.

Just the clarify...

The low-impedence 1986 - 1987.5 FC turbo fuel injectors are *purple* brand new.
When faded, they look gray / tan.

The high-impedence 1987.5 - 1988 FC turbo fuel injectors are *red* brand new.
When faded, they look pink.

Both sets use the rectangular "Bosch-type" plug, but the keys are offset due to the difference impedences.

The low-impedence, early year ones are center keyed.
The high-impedence, later year ones are offset to the side.
