Heres what Rich said at Cruzin

I sent all 8 of my 89 Injectors to get cleaned, and he calls me about 3 days later and says I hate to tell you this but they ALL were shot. It wasnt even worth cleaning them and basically ALL 8 are paper weights. He said do you want me to pitch them or send them back. I said keep them. So what do I do now?

How hard was it to remove your injectors? I've been thinking about doing this for awhile and it seems like winter would be a good time to do it. Do you have the website for cruizin?

If they are all shot, it looks like its time for new ones, i really dont know what to recommend since i havent had to deal with that.....yet.

Mkos,

WOW! They must have been pretty bad if Cruzin' Performance said they aren't worth the trouble. Did you ask Rich if he had any extra sets to sell?

Another option is the biggest swap meet on the web, eGay.

Mkos, cheer up- just think of how much better your car will act when you get some new ones! You could always get some out of a junkyard...

How bad was your car running before you pulled the injectors?

This was a post regarding other options for injectors. I dont know if this will help or not, but the SVO injectors are cheaper (according to the post). GM injectors: 137$ to Ford SVO: 25$.

Again I hope this helps (I might have mistook the post and thought it meant something else)

Well I was going to buy a set of 22's off ZBRA, but he wrote today and said they were taken. If he writes back again and says they are sold for good. I will get the SVO's then or Accel's for 224.99

Sorry dude, I got ZBRA's injectors.

I'd stick with the 22lbs for your combo. You only need 24lbs if youre moving a lot of air, like with a forced induction setup, or a full aftermarket intake.
