TPI Injectors 5.0 vs. 5.7
Does anyone know if there is a way to tell the difference between 305 and 350 injectors? I can't seem to find any part numbers or anything and I am trying to figure out if someone put 350 injectors in this 350. It wont run and this is a final attempt before I burn it! Thanks to all.

Re: TPI Injectors 5.0 vs. 5.7
a 350 will run on 305 injectors
a zz3 350 will run on a 305 prom and 305 injectors just not well
it will run with 350 computer and 305 injectors
and it will run with a 305 computer and the 350s injectors
honestly "untuned" mine runs best with the 305 comp and 350 injectors

Re: TPI Injectors 5.0 vs. 5.7
Yea thats what I thought! Man is this thing kickin' my butt!! Ive been running round and round and round with this thing for a year! I can not for the life of me get this thing to run. Its an 88 TPI setup I put in a '40 coupe. Ran MINT when I first installed it. Then it sat couple months untouched and now nothing. Ive been through EVERYTHING checking and rechecking (I'm an L1 master Tech 15+ years that specializes in electrical so Im not a dummy) . Cranks mint. no codes. flashes 12 so ECM working. got power/grounds everywhere it needs it, got injector pulse, spark fuel pressure. Litteraly EVERYTHING has been replaced!! ECM included! I had it running once. Had wicked high idle (like vacuum leak) but had absolutely no throttle respose. Now I cant even get a fart out of it. Fires on ether. Tried 3 fuel pumps, regulator, all sensors, switches everything is new. Fresh rebuild 5.7. I ordered a set of injectors off ebay. Im crossing my fingers! Sorry for long post. Just lost... STILL!

I would make sure you dont have a vacuum leak. I had a similar problem when I first got my motor together. Had a slight high idle, horrible to start, needed ether. Ended up I had accidentally swapped the bottom gaskets for the runners. Causing it to not seal around the cold start injector.
