just took off my intake maifold. there are two holes on the bottom that look like bolt holes, ad two coresponding holes in the block, but they are not threaded. What goes there pins? what size?
mikeforte said:The OP said the holes were on the bottom of the intake so that does not mean the block/head mounting surface does it?
They are on the Renix years but not sure on the later model 4.0sTen High said:i'm assuming he means the intake mounting surface. i was always under the impression those were "blind" holes.
I think a set from a 5.0 mustang from JY work great and they are pretty cheap. I bought a set about 2 years ago for $100 and replaced mine. Runs great with Ford injectors. Just make sure to use new O-rings and be very very careful removing the fuel rail. DO NOT bend it or tweak it in any way or it will not seal the injectors again.hagermanfolley said:Yes 10 high it is the intake mounting surface. in between ad below the first to intake holes and in between and below the last two. they do look like pin alignment holes. anybody know where to get new pins? also How do you go about cleaning your own injectors? I ont have the 350-480 for new ones but thought Id clean mine up. would it hurt anything to soak them overnight in carb or injector cleaner, scrub them with a tooth brush?
thanks

hagermanfolley said:I replaced the cylinder head last year, so maybe it didnt have the pins. Just called the local jeep service center and they said they dont do off vehicle injector cleaning and they dont know of anyone that does. Ford mustang injectors, where did you get those? and for what year and engine? Anybody ever tried putting them in a bath and cleaning the injectors them selves? Think I will try this before I buy new ones. Yes I did buy all new seals so Im covered there.
