thanks, I figured but also figured more opinions are better than one.

EDIT: Would those pensacola reman injectors be a good choice if I plan to turbo the biotch soon, or should I wait and then get some turbo spec injectors???

Turbo or not , you are still going to want to run BB code injectors. The remans are questionable. I am running DCP remans in my 93 and it seems to run fine, but pop tests of reman. injectors have not shown good results. If you want a good matched set, contact Russ whos username here is Typefour. He sells a pop-tested and matched set of Delphis for a resonable price. I will go with his next time I need them.

I believe the difference in return kits has to do with how the nipples on the caps sit relative to centerline of the cap. I know when I bought my kit off Russ he had me snap a pic of the cap to make sure he sent the right one.

FWIW, I HIGHLY recommend his kit.

AFAIK, the only important difference is the hose size, 3/16 vs 1/4 IIRC. the important thing is that your kit matches the fitting where the hose connects to the hard line in that funny "T" fitting there.

I also recommend the kit from Russ (typefour). To tell the difference, are your hose barbs in the centerline of the cap? Or set off to the side of the cap?

I'm pretty sure they're in the centerline... I already ordered the 89+ kit....
