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!

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
