I believe that most injector service outfits limit their work to
electrically pulsed fuel injectors - I suspect CIS injectors are
not easily repairable - you might try the following. Maybe
one of them can give you a lead. Personally, I would not
advocate fooling around with old injectors since they tend
to develop static leaks which can drip (engine off) and lead to a
grossly rich, hard start scenario.

There's somebody else too - Kinstler Fuel Injection in Michigan.
But I don't have the number handy. HTH,
