Replacing Stock Fuel Injectors - Sites Do Not Show Flow Ratings - 89 L03 305
Hello,
I have a 1989 L03 305
I am looking to replace my injectors and I've done a bunch of research. I found out I need 40-45 lbs/hr for my fuel flow to help narrow down my fuel injector search. However, I can't find any information on these injectors below regarding their fuel flow. I'd hate to drop $200 on injectors that have too much or too little lbs/hr fuel flow. Would anyone be able to possibly assist me in finding out which injector has the correct fuel flow? Or could you possibly send me a link to stock replacement injectors for my L03?
Thank you!!

What's wrong with the ones you've linked-to? They ARE stock-replacement injectors:
1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS V8 - 5.0L vin E 305ci - TBI GAS OHV
One being in the "discount" line, and having a 1-year warranty instead of the other one with a "Limited Lifetime" warranty.

Thanks for the reply. The items say they fit any camaro motor from 82-92, including the 305 and 350. These two engines had different spray rates (40lb/hr - 55lb/hr). I want to to make sure I am getting the one that fits my engine (40lb/hr - 44lb/hr)

im almost 100% sure the 305 5.0 TBI sprays at 55 ib/hr. The 350 can honestly run on those as well as me how i know yet they usually come with 61/64 respectively.
EDIT: Info found.
For injectors they come in various flow rates. The common injectors that are found in the above TBI units are:
2.8l and 3.1l engines: 33 #/hr
4.3l engine: 45 #/hr (note: some units have different flow rate injectors. This is done to help with fuel distribution.)
5.0l engine: 55 #/hr
5.7l engine: 61, 65, & 68 #/hr
7.4l engine: 46*, 75 & 81 #/hr.

I actually found it on another thirdgen thread when I was doing my initial research haha.
Ghettobird, do you think either of the injectors I listed would be the correct fuel flow?
