Default Quick.. Lucas 38lb Injector Question

Hey there guys.. Quick question.

Will the Lucas 38lb injector work for a LT1 system. If it won't why not? Incorrect Voltage?

I would verify weather your system requires a high or low impedence injector. Looking at your numbers are you running an aftermarket fuel pump?

how would you know which one your system requires. i see som eproblems with low impedence in recent posts, the pulse widths arent too good down low, and i have some 38# high impedence and am having low pulse issues.

Ah, understood. I'm not totally sure about the LT1 system other than the fuel pressure being lower (43.5 psi, 3 bars) than the Gen III which will be a factor on injector size selection.
