Re: wrong injectors??
Bosch injectors typically have part numbers on them.
Example: 0-280-150-791
What are the numbers on the injectors you have? Once you have the number, you can find the injector specifications. There are several specification charts floating around on the web.

ya i was going to get the numbers off the side off the injector but all the injectors have the part number scrapped off??seems like a pretty reputable shop with a web site and 100%rating on ebay??im ok with using them just as long as its a 22lb injector.

Re: wrong injectors??
Not sure why this is in the carburetor section, but the easiest way to confirm this would be to look at your O2 correction. It should be within the vicinity of a normal operating range. These original ECM's only have so much percentage area wise of correction, so a bin burned for 22# injectors will have little to no O2 correction running 22# injectors... unless something else is way off, of course.

It's not like it's a serial number off a pistol you'd buy in downtown Stockton.....

Re: wrong injectors??
there are no numbers at all on the injectors? We've been selling the 22lb bosch lll's for years. Never heard of a blue 22lb bosch lll. Too bad you don't have a number. Who knows...

Re: wrong injectors??
A picture might be somewhat helpful...perhaps someone might recognize the injector.
