I don't know my injector flow rate, now what?
I want to use a throttle body from an 89 GM truck 350 motor but don't know what size injectors are in it. Where do I start? Anyone out there using this TBI or similar?

Re: I don't know my injector flow rate, now what?
All,
Similar doubt here.
I've some injectors which I can't find any spec about them.
Could I measure them by myself? Someone could help?
If I apply 12V on the injectors during one minute and measure the amount of liquid (alcohol or gasoline) would it be realible?
Thank you,

Eric has some tips on how to flow test injectors at home, here:

Re: Injector size
Looks like the eyes jumped a line in the Gebhart data, for a 350 he should have the #5235206 55lb injectors.colinnwn wrote:Hi zorb847,

Re: I don't know my injector flow rate, now what?
Another option is to find a local injection cleaning shop and pick their brains while paying a fairly cheep rate for a flow check and inspection.
I just got done doing that with a set of injectors I got off of ebay, supposedly salvaged out of a Crown Vic.
Bugging a professional ended up getting me a few interesting insights into injector behavior under increased fuel pressure, as well as a few options on seals that I'd never seen in the after market, which will make my project easier.
Yes, I suspect I could have built a simple test bench for less than I paid him, but the side benefits made it worth it in my mind.
This is just my two cents, though.
