Shout out to SouthBay...

Not sure if they still advertise here or not, but about 3 years ago I bought a set of their rebuilt injectors for my '89 to get it going for my daughter. She's been driving it since, earlier this week the 30 year old FPR diaphram ruptured. I put a Holley adjustable on it for her, set the fuel pressure to 44psi. injectors held at 44 for 10 minutes before the system started to leak down.

Like was said about the injectors, they are a little noisy, but they're also like the Eveready bunny too

Edit:

Looks like they still are a TGO vendor https://www.southbayfuelinjectors.com/

Re: Shout out to SouthBay...

I will say I couldn't stand the ticking of the Bosch units, so I bought more injectors from SouthBay, their Delphi 22s. They're a good vendor and quick to respond. I always suggest them to people when hunting for injectors.

Heard it every time I drove the car. It was horrible. I have a bulge hood so I guess the sound just shot strait towrads the windscreen.

Oh you can hear it! Trust me it's loud AF. When the kid in the drive-through window says "Nice car! Too bad about the lifter tick...." then you'll understand.
