Yes. But you'll run a bit rich without some prom tuning.

For starters, if the injectors are stock on the 87 they are 22lb and NOT 24lbs.

Try them out and see if the ECM can adjust for the larger injectors. If not then you may require a new chip.

These are the only stock injectors used on 3rd gen TPI's all years.
305 TPI = 19#
350 TPI= 22#

Re: Fuel injector question

I have heard that the 89-92 TPI 305 use the #22 but with a lower fuel pressure.

You heard wrong. Have your hearing checked and also at the same time check your facts.

Re: Fuel injector question

There is a difference between correcting somebody and being an *******. Maybe the same guy that checks my ears can teach you some respect and some manners.

For the record, here is where I "heard" that little tidbit.

Re: Fuel injector question

Wow.

While I agree that a higher pressure will produce somewhat of a better spray pattern; GM kicked these TPI's out of the factory with 43.5psi.

Not in your lifetime and keep your ******* comments where the sun dose not shine. Now this is correcting someone who is off base with a reply. When you post be sure of the facts and not I heard.

They should work,but you maywant to raise the fuel pressure to 45PSI (need a adjustable fuel pressure regulator for this).
