I was thinkin' (and please understand my understanding of fuel systems is limited)...
I'll run rich if I put injectors for a larger engine into my 2.8, right? Of course.
But what if I've done stuff like upgraded camshaft, rockers, springs, etc.? Are 15# injectors ok then? Are they recommended or not? I don't wanna upgrade stuff in my 2.8, put it back together, and find out I'm runnin' lean.
Grab a spare set of 2.8 ones and have them cleaned.
If ya wanna have that rebuild fun, I gotta say get the 3.4.
You win all around.
Yes I see your signature.

This is what I did. Bought a used set, had them cleaned and then swapped with the set in the car. Then sent, the set I just took out, to be cleaned. Both sets had leaking and sticking injectors before cleaning.
Both sets tested at 15 pounds/hour. I don't know where people get the idea the stock injectors for 2.8 are 13#.

I was gonna get my injectors cleaned. But then I figured it would be a waste of money if they weren't even the right injectors after I fixed up my car.
Right now my Bird is crashed but still runs ok. I think what it needs most (mechanically) is cleaned injectors and new exhaust (+ headers ).
