bad injectors

Injector drops fuels not sprays. Its not the injector because i switch them, still the same promblem. Could it be the gasket? Also is this why it ideals at 500 rpms? Its on stock TBI 92 Lo3. Where would i buy new gaskets for the injectors?

If fuel is just drooling from the injector tips instead of spraying a fine mist in a regular cone pattern, it is quite possible you have inadequate fuel pressure. You may want to replace the fuel filter if it hasn't been done recently and test pressure.

I replace the fuel filter a couple months ago, but its just the one side that drops,also fuel goes out the top of the injector holder.

you said you changed the injectors so to me it sounds like you have some leaking injector seals. you can get a tbi gasket & seal kit at most any parts house. take your time, watch what your doing, get all the gasket surfaces clean & make sure you change all the o-rings & be sure you don't leave any of the old o-rings in it. the o-rings at the bottom can stick in the housing.
