The concept was good, but Edelcrock screwed it up by using offbrand injectors.
No other injectors will fit and they have the program for the chip.

So, all in all ....junk!! (not smog legal in Ca. except for trucks)

It will bolt on alright, but they have the chip program and it's for a "7747" truck ECM.

They won't give you the program unless you have a truck.
