Diagnosis: bad injectors

Hi, I realize this question may have been answered a few times, but here it goes:
* I need new injectors for my 1991 Camaro, 305 auto. I was told that I can go with Accel. Is this correct? What size injector? I was also told that they come in black now (as opposed to only yellow) as I want the stock appearance.
Can anyone point me to the link where I can buy these?
Any other friendly advice?

Thx

Ron

I replaced my injectors with 22 lb Bosch III's from fuelinjectorconnection.com. The Bosch III's work great. Contact Jon and he'll fix you up at a good price!

accell's are not flow matched and are more money,, get Bosch 3's from fuel injector connection ( www.fuelinjectorconnection.com) they fit perfect and have a 3 yr warranty. Thats all we use in our shop

Re: Diagnosis: bad injectors

Just wanted to put my 2 cents in for the Bosch III's from fuelinjectionconnection.com. You can't go wrong with them and they're a breeze to install. Good luck!

Re: Diagnosis: bad injectors

i agree,fuelinjectorconnection has the best service i've ever experienced
im overseas and Jon himself called me to assist me on the installation when i was making some mistakes,i did a nice step by step installatio and im very grateful to them
they have a STRONG following on the Corvette forum as well.-
Here's the contact info

had the luck of purchase from FIC,you won't go wrong with them
I recommeded him with my TPI friends that went to Bosch III's and i swear we have never looked back or choose another provider !!!
now i got a set of Blue pearl ZR1 style injectors for my L98 !!!!

I stand by my words and FIC is the right choice !!!

Re: Diagnosis: bad injectors

So that means I don't need 24lb injectors but can get by on 22lb ones from Bosch?
What would the performance difference be?
Also, what are the original GM ones...22lbs also?

Re: Diagnosis: bad injectors

if you have a 305, you need 19lb/hr injectors. If you have a 350, you need 22 lb/hr. stock for the 305 is 19lb/hr. stock for the 350 is 22lb/hr

Not so....the 22lb Bosch III's work fine on my LB9.
True stock injectors for the 305 are 19 lb...but again the Bosch III's work fine with no trouble from the computer.
