You can get ripped off or you can find really good deals. I think there is way too much fraud on Ebay. Ebay was just fined sixty three million dollars by a French Judge. They have filed an appeal. Ebay has many copyright infringement and consumer fraud lawsuits pending against them. Read about it in the Wall Street Journal here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1214...googlenews_wsj

Being in the business for 30 +yrs, we looked for a better alternative for the Pink Top Bosch 22. We started playing around with different injectors that would work well. The specs of the Bosch 3 was a perfect match except for the height. We sold these for years but the intake towers had to be cut to accommodate them because there was no provision to use the clip. We solved the problem by modifying the mount on the injector so it will replace the Multec. The video shows how ours fit. This guy South Bay evidently just got in the business. If you look at his e bay store he was selling doll clothing in April of this year. He copied our listings almost word for word. I even made intentional mistakes on our listing just to see him copy them. The injector will work but the o ring will not seat in the upper fuel rail correctly. The injector in the stage you have will fit in a BMW, or any v8 Ford. It will also fit 4.5-4.9 Caddy.. But it will not fit a TPI from 85-91 safely.

So, it seems that it will work but it might leak fuel. I'm asking this because there might be forum members running the wrong injector.

Thats all. But the towers on the earlier manifolds are higher, Would you like this guy to have a fuel leak? Sounds like you wan't him to put them in.. He can. but the risk of a leak is there. They might not even fit at all. The original poster has not even told us what they are doing. Are they in the car? Are they leaking?

The Bosch 3 has to have a modification done that will enable it to lock between the rail and the manifold with the o ring going into the fuel rail at the desired height. (SEE VIDEO) we always look for ways to impove our product. We came up with this mod. The Bosch 3 that we sell fits in these manifolds perfectly. Its ok to use others, but if you have a manifold that has the higher towers it will leak. You will know when you test for leaks prior to putting on the plenum..

The 86 For Some Reason Has An 1/8 Additional Height On The Injector Stands. These Manifolds Were Made At A Different Foundry Than The 85, 87-91. The Clips Actually Hold The Injector Up Into The Rail And The Bottom Does Not Seat All The Way Down In The Manifold. Also Some 86's Do Have The Proper Height Stands. If You Find Out That When You Put Any Aftermarket Injector In With The 60mm O Ring To O Ring Spacing That Your Injector Won't Seat Follow These Steps.. It Is Advisable Not To Use The Clips To Hold The Injector Up. If The Clip Rusts Away The Injector Will Lower And Cause A Leak. What We Advise Is To Take A Piece Of 1/8 Tape Around The Top Of Each Of The 4 Stands And Grind Off The 1/8 Inch. This Is Simple To Do. Not Only Will The Injector Seat Properly, But You Will Not Have To Rely On Those Tiny Weak Clips To Hold The Injector In The Rail. Any Later Injector Swaps Will Also Be Easier Because Now There Is Enough Room To Remove Them Without Taking Off The Runners. All Other Years Including The Lt1's Do Not Need The Clip And Have The Proper Height. You Can Also Trim Those Years To Make It Easier Next Time. We Have Personally Installed Injectors On Every Year. Meanwhile Mike263 Did Not Buy His Injectors From Us. I Called Him And Walked Him Through What He Needs To Do. Fires Scare Me!!

I have an '86 and recently installed a set of your GenIII's. It leaked badly on first test and, after finding the above post, I did the mod and ground off 1/8" of material. That did the trick and I must say, these injectors make it run smooth as new. Big difference. So my question is about the '86 intake. Is it an additional 1/8" higher than the other pre 89 intakes?
