How do I do a visual test/check on fuel injectors outside the car on the bench? Any way to tell they're spraying right? I don't want to install this engine and find the injectors are crap.

Zack,
I would send em out for testing if you REALLY want to be clear if they are in good shape. I think you will probably find out you will need to send in 6-8 injectors to get a matching set of 4 good ones. This assumes you are using original injectors from 1976 or earlier. I won't use RC injectors anymore. Too may complaints from the ricers. You may want to change your post to read.... Who knows of an INJECTOR TESTER IN THE MODESTO AREA. Cause you probably don't have the facility's to REALLY test them at home. YOU COULD hook em up to your engine's fuel system. Ground the coil wire. (KEEP SPARK AWAY FROM FUEL) Get yourself a glass jar and watch the spray. At least that will tell you if it has a pattern or is just puking fuel. The best approach is to send em out to a pro. IMnonHO. Cheers, Clayton |
