i was just woundering how do you tell what poundage your injectors are. is there a number or mark that can tell you

Thanks
steve

 

I don't know how to tell by looking but for a stock 5.7 you need 22# injectors

 

yea i need to know by looking at it i already know what the stock LB is thanks tho

 

The only real way to tell is take the number that is stamped or printed on the injector and then try and crossreference it. There are some sites that list specs by part number just try googling it.

 

ah ok i was afraid of that ok sounds good

I believe your original injectors would be the Multec units built by GM, not a very reliable piece in general. They are usually gray in color.

 

Hi Steve, if you can get the numbers off of the injectors, and tell me what kind of horsepower you are running, I can tell you what size the injectors are.

 

ok let me look to see what the numbers are and i will post them when i get a chance

 

ok great

 

ok so on this one there are 2 different numbers on the 2 sides first side is:
0 280 150 561 there is also a 957 on the plug and a 391 in the corner

on the other side is says:
fote-9f593-d9b they are pink purple in color at the top and they are ford brand

 

They are 22lb injectors at 43.5psi
