: Read Bob DiBiase's wonderful article on fuel

: the only parts on this engine that qualified
: for this application. Question is this, when
: I pulled the injectors from the manifold the
: brass end stayed in the manifold on several
: of them. I pulled these brass end caps from
: the manifold and saved them, and wonder if
: they can just be cleaned and pressed back
: on, or if they are damaged beyond use
: somehow? Appreciate in advance your help.
I got the injectors that I used from an '85 3.8L engine. These had plastic tips that I replaced with parts that came with the Tomco injector seal kit (P/N 27007, $12). I would guess that there is also a kit for the injectors used in the '86 3.8L engine. However, the metal tips may be more difficult to replace.
