need: Barbed injectors, for 200 HP ??

I'm looking for some injectors that would make my conversion easy, with the barbed type fuel inlets. Anyone know what car to pull these from, something in the 200 HP range ? I know it may be hard to get barbed ones, but it's worth a try.

Thanks!

I'm curious, what's a barbed injector?

They are the ones with the hose fitting on the top, so no fuel rail is needed. Thanks for the parts, by the way !

Actually, the fuel rail type fitting with the o-rings...only started in the early 80's. Almost everything before that...most of the Japanese, all D type and L type variants...pretty much used the barbed fittings. BUT...if you take a non-barbed injector...plug the hole in the end with tape...and use a dremel tool carefully...to remove the plastic...without cuting the metal...down to about 1/8' from the square plastic boss where the plug joins...you will have a barbed injector. All you really need to do is slit and score the plastic...and it cracks off the fuel inlet tube cleanly...and there is a rolled "knob" at the ned for retaining the clamp. They work perfectly. Ray
