where can I get the little plastic ends at for the injectors? I bought some inj from 2.8 bird and they are all cracked. I've tried taking the ones I have from mine but can get the suckers off. Any suggestions.
BTY 2.8 bird.

 

If I remember right, they just snap onto the end, but at this point they are so fragile from the heat and age that they'll most likely break. Talk to a shop that specializes in carbs and FI parts, you'd be surprised at how many there are. They usually can get you a new set of tips for a pretty cheap price. The alternative is to try very carefully to pop the ones off your old injectors with a small flatblade screwdriver. You might break them, but on a set of six, you might be able to get one off.

Good Luck

 

we'll so far no one has those caps. What purpose do they serve anyway? When I go to the part store the rebuilt injectors don't have the cap on them. So can I just leave them off? I need to know so I can finish putting this motor back together.

 

I would like to know also. I changed the o-rings on mine a while back and most of those little caps just fell off from being cracked into many pieces. I am pulling my injectors again this weekend and might as well replace some of those caps if they are important.

 

did it effect anything or did you not put them back in that way? I'll have to check one more parts store and see what they say.

 

Not that I noticed. I know that they hold the o-rings on better if you have them on.

 

if that's it I'll take my chances.

 

They just shield the pintle hole from carbon and other debris so it doesn't get stuck right on the tip. I am missing 2 of them I think, never had a problem and I havn't had them out for the last 3 years.

 

I found out how to get them off but I broke 2 out of six trying. They would still work but not fit as snug. I have a guy I can get new injectors for around $25 a peice. I might have to buy some if these don't work.

I don't understand why the parts store or even chevy dealer doesn't carry them? I can't find any injector shops around I guess I'll have to check some speed shops.
