Re: ACCEL injectors

Stay away from Accels and save your money, I just installed a set of 19lb injectors for $135 from Jon at fuelinjectorconnection.com and the car runs like an aminal. My 305 had 3 bad injectors, I called Jon and ordered, received my 8 injectors in about 3 days, great service and product, give them a look.....

The $135 are backed for a year or go with the Blue Demon's for $169 that are guaranteed for 3 years...still a great deal

,Jon is really great to talk to, He really wanna help you with your problem. You got the Bosch III injectors to (22lbs) that you could use if you are able to reprogram your prom to 22lbs injectors. They flow really well. Great spray pattern
Gonna put those on my car after I went thru inspection.

Re: ACCEL injectors

Stay away from the Accel injectors. There have been several posts over the last year how bad they are, that 1 or more fail in a few months usage.

Buy the Ford 19#/hr EV1 injectors from Summit Racing. The Ford injectors are the best most reliable injector we have. (Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that I work at Ford, at least until the August 1st salary cutback.) You will get them in 2 days by ground shipping, most likely. I get stuff from Summit in one day.

Re: ACCEL injectors

I have a set of the yellow first style accel injectors with a little over 10,000 miles(2.5 years) on them without any problems.I bought them before I knew about there reported problems.I was thinking of going with there new style silver 24# injectors until I saw the prices you posted at fuelinjection.com.I bought mine just before they changed to the new style,not sure if that explains why i`ve had no problems.
