Question Changing Injectors, Any Tips?

Just like the title says, I am upgrading my stockers to SVO 30#ers. Any special advice or tips? Any special tools needed? Thanks! Ben

This is very easy. Just remember

If they are used replace the orings
Lube the orings with oil

Also, you may need to pick up a fuel disconnect tool - $3 at Autozone.

It is a easy swap. Few tips, disconnect the wire harness at the 4 corners, us a long screwdriver to unclip. Removing the connectors for the rear injectors is a pain, but if you disconnect front 6 1st and then pull rail up and forward you will be able to disconnect the rear injtcs. Be cautious orings will probaly stick up in the rail use a small pick to pull them out. When reinstalling use a small bit of vasloline onthe orings. Do not need to disconnect main fuel supply line.

You might want to go with a bigger injector for further mods down the road. 30#,s seem a little small if you have bigger plans. Going to have to tune for them anyway. Save yourself some time and money.
