175k mile injectors: clean them or replace them?
ive got a 88 350 GTA with just over 175000 on the odometer. engine still runs great, trans is bad, and i cant get it titled. im parting it out, and i was wondering if i should bother to have the injectors cleaned and blueprinted to install on my Corvette, or order a set of the new Accel 22lb injectors that go for just over $200. is the milage too high to bother having them serviced?
BTW- youre probably wondering why i dont just have the existing injectors on my Vette serviced. well, theyre Multecs (its an 89'), and ive heard because of their self-cleaning design, any type of cleaning methods will short the injector out. if i could service the GTAs injectors (non Multecs) it would save me a few bucks over buying new ones

I would just get new accels. For the price, they cant be beat. Ill be doin those to the 130k mile engine in my 91z. Motor runs great and it ran a 14.4, but im sick of the cylinders loading up with fuel when i shut it off. That pig rich cloud it makes could kill a staten Island goose. I figure that the injectors at this point are too far gone to service.
