Re: Last injector question... probably

[akallotte@juno.com]

As per following info, should I look for 24s or 30s.  I think 24s might
do the job, but 30s definately will.  But, for a daily driver, will the
30s be open enough at idle and light cruise?

As for the following, the cheapest I can find GN injectors is $50 a set
on Turbo Trader.  Is there someplace else I should look?  I'd like
reletively well balanced injectors to go with the well balanced/matched
motor, so I would definately spend the money to have used injectors
cleaned, resto'd, and balanced.  Would I need to do that to the new
Ford's also?  Are the GN's disc or needle?

As always, thanks for the help and good advice.
