hehe... then the fuel pump prolly wasn't the problem.

Are the injectors spraying fuel?

Are you getting spark to the plugs?

Yeah, or just pull your spark plugs & look at the tips to see if they are wet.... that's a lot easier.

you'd run a lil' rich at idle and part throttle if you went with turbo injectors without some how compensating for the increased flow.

I'd stick with the stock size injectors. Unless you're planning on getting pretty wild with an NA setup, like Shady has, then the stock flow rates are fine. The turbo injectors are a drop in swap though. No mods needed to make them fit and no rewiring is required. As far as brand goes, I know a few of our members have used a few different brands and could probably give you their first hand experiences with the whole "which brand should I use?"

Yeah I'd say just stick with stock. They'll work just fine. No need to upgrade, especially if it's more trying to get it to run at the moment.

As for a Pantera...I saw one go down the street the other day. That was pretty cool. A month or two ago, I saw a Ford GT pulling out of the gas station the same street! That was insane.

I got brand new Beck Arnley's for my '82. And they work great, not a problem at all. And they spray just like they are supposed to. And they only cost me a little over $400, back in February from BAP import parts.

I went to Advance auto and bought two injectors there for my 82 N/A and they are fine...like $30 apiece though. I just wish I had all new connectors and those plastic things that hold the injectors in...I broke two of mine and had to use super glue to sort of fix them...but no leaks

the problem is in your fuel pump relay or a pump thats going bad.
