Accel vs Ford Injector question... Injectors length?

So i was doing some research as my injectors are fried..015 .017 .007x5 and one was .003So i did some research and accel has a #23 injector 1lb per hour bigger then mineIve been reading the ford injectors are shorter then stock injectors.I looked on summit racing and accels are 2.880 and fords are 3.0---- Im confused are accels even shorter then ford injectors?

Either will work but there have been numerous complaints about the Accel injectors. I'd stay away from them.

I'm using Accels. Car runs/performs great, but it's just a little harder to start after a hot soak.

They *were* shorter than stock, but they fit.

Re: Accel vs Ford Injector question... Injectors length?

you use a DVOM Digial volt ohm meter. and you put the unit on Ohms its like a horseshoe looking symbolThen you just unplug your injectors wiring from it and their will be 2 male pins sticking out of the injectos put one lead from the dvom on each pin at the same time and you will get your injectos ohms reading.anything below 12 is bad 0 is really not good its a shorter injector.if you get a reading like .008 or .015 your meter is on the wrong sub setting.

Re: Accel vs Ford Injector question... Injectors length?

I've got a brand new set of 26# ACCEL injectors collecting dust and their replacement 30# Ford SVO injectors under the hood. The motor wouldn't run with the ACCEL's. They're total garbage.

Yeah Five o is ok.You want the 22lbs injectors.They may have changed the color of the tops,I couldn't find the pink tops on thier site but the 22lbs are what you need.
