fuel injector compatibility
I am thinking about purchasing a set of spark plugs from a 94 5.7 camaro and putting them in my 90 gta.
My question is are they compatible with my generation of f-body?

Re: fuel injector compatibility
Get the brand and part # and cross reference it against the plugs speced for your car to see if the same

Re: fuel injector compatibility
I totally had a brain fart when I was typing my request.
My question is for the fuel injectors and not the spark plugs.
Sorry guys.
Plugs I have are ok. Delco version.

Re: fuel injector compatibility
Are your injectors bad? You won't gain any horsepower by just swapping to 24LB injectors, infact you will probably lose horsepower because it will be over fueling the motor a little bit unless you get a tune to compensate.

Re: fuel injector compatibility

Possibly. Sometimes after the car get warmed up it wants to stall out.
Replaced cap, rotor, plugs wires, coil and icm about a month ago.
Fuel pump was replaced 2 months ago.
These are accel injectors my supervisor had left over in a fuel rail from an old engine.
Forget what they are: 21, 22 lbs?
This was done 3 years ago when I got the car.

Re: fuel injector compatibility
So pretty much everything on the ignition system was replaced except the
dizzy itself and the pick-up coil.
Now my people and I have theorized that the icm is bad (i.e. it overheats
and cuts the car off, then it cools down just enough and lets the car run
again).
Could the pick-up coil contribute to this condition before I go throwing parts
at the car it doesn't need?
I plan on getting a gm (delco) icm soon and coat the base with a GOOD
amount of dielectric grease just to be on the safe side.
Any help/suggestions on diagnosis would be appreciated.
