88 stock l98 injectors?

hey guys....i really need some help here. i am going to change out my injectors.my first injector change. i have read and heard anywhere from 19# to 24# injectors,for a stock 350. and i just got off the phone with summit. one guy said "summit's ford injectors" (#sum-240024) would be perfect, i called back to ask about a gasket set, talked to a different guy,he said the ford injectors where a different size and they may fit loose in the fuel rail. he tried to sell me some accel's,but from what i have read,they may not be the best ones. i will be installing hooker 2055's later.
has anyone used these injestors?again they are (#sum-240024)
if these will not work, does anyone know of a good replacment set?
do i need 24# injectors?
thank guys.
i love this site!!!!!!

The ford injectors will work fine, I have run them, No fitment issues. I would look on ebay:

PS: if your car came stock with a L98, it uses 22# injectors

Re: 88 stock l98 injectors?

do you have to change the your plug(connectors) if you use bosch type III injectors? and if i go with 24# injectors will it make her run rich? i live in a smog county.
once again.....first time injector change. i just want to get the right ones.
thanks again

the bosch III jon has is the same plug as ours.. they just drop in.. easy install. a little time consuming... go with the 22's. bigger injectors do not give you more power. you will have too do a chip reprogram to run 24's properly.
