new injectors.

i had a wandering idle problem on my 88' ROC. the idle would wander up and down while it was warming up in the morning. i also had a hot start condition. it would crank over and it wouldn't start until the 4 time it turned over. i also got a awful smell of gas when i the car started hot. well i went ahead and bought some D9B-21lb (19lbs also available) "take off" injectors at Fiveomotorsport.com. since they are ford 21lb i assume that they are more like 23lb on a gm apllication. they arrived within 5 days via USPS. well i just installed them yesterday and man what a difference. the exhaust smells extermely clean(not rich) and the idle does not wander as it once did. it wasn't the intake gaskets since i replaced those about a month ago. the car performs like it's new . for those experincing similar problems, you may want to pick up a set for only $165 + shipping.
no this is not a sales pitch or anything. just wanted to let people know that there are good deals out there and help people that are having the same problems out.
