Here it is as I promised -------- the lenght of the spring way to identify
Injectors. That is one of the hardest things to do for a beginner. In this forum
we tried to do it by numbers on the barrels ------ did not work for OLD Rabbits.
The PO factor is getting you. ALL the injectors that I tested could be ajusted
for all engines.
SHORT SPRING less than 1 inch ---I call old style 1.5L NA.
LONG SPRING more than 1 inch by about a quarter ------- I call new style 1.6 L NA
The PITA part for beginners are the shims. I got most of mine from dumpsterdiving
and old rusted injectors.
as luck has it the Rabbits were loaded with thin wave washers that will work.
And yes Andrew and stacking many shims is normal practice.
For us perfectionists the thin shims are premium. Shims are expensive.
Any HARD steel washer will do.
Hagar.
PS : This having no spellchecker --is downright good for my education.
