Hello, I have a bit of a "Sob" story here. I am a college student with a '74 2.0, and I am (Hopefully) driving home next Friday. I am working with a shop to get my car back to FI, but today I learned that my injectors are cracked. No companies currently stock rebuilt ones, and Auto Atlanta is out. If anyone has any good ones, I will pay top dollar (whatever that is) and have them overnight shipped. I would like the best ones I can find, but beggars can't be choosers. Thanks in advance to the best automotive community out there!

Thanks,
Christian

Yes and NO. Yes they will fit and NO the injector plug is WRONG. I have a set and they would not take them back. THEIR catalog is CORRECT and I did not know what I was talking about.

Rockauto is not a stellar organization.

Crap. Mr. Injector sent me over to them, and said that they would fit. I guess I'm down $400.

Does anyone know if they are correct in fuel flow for 914 2.0? Because if they are and all you have to do is put new connectors on the wiring harness they seem like a good option when compared to 40+ year old parts. No?

Hi all, I just got off the phone with Rich at High Performance House. He sells unopened OEM injectors, and was willing to stay after work to make sure I got the product on time. They were expensive ($1150, out of this world for a college student), but that is the price you pay for quick shipping and original parts. I guess that this is a good long term investment for my car. I would highly recommend calling him if you have any parts needs, as he gave me phenomenal customer service and was willing to work around some bumps in the road. I decided to not go with the rockauto parts, as everywhere I looked online people recited their customer service horror stories from dealing with them.

$1150 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif)

I've purchased a lot of parts for my Tacoma over the years and just recently purchased all the suspension and brake parts for my Ghia from Rock Auto. Never had a problem, but then again, I never had to return anything.

On the other hand, I'll never purchase anything from Parts Geek again. They sent an incorrect part for my wife's '99 Beetle and wanted me to pay for return shipping + a 15% restocking fee. Their web site claimed the part was correct for the car, but it definitely wasn't. I told them to stuff it up their ass and would tell all my friends to avoid shopping with them every chance I get.

If it helps, I bought this car from the original owner with 50k miles. It's an optioned out 1974 2.0, and I've been trying to keep it in decently original shape. So to me, the OEM ones would be reliable and help keep the vehicle how I found it. I've also had some bad experience with parts geek, their website is rarely ever accurate.

I have never seen OEM injectors in original packaging. You pay a premium for hens teeth. Sounds like the car may be worth it.

Rock Auto customer support refunded me, as the order had yet to ship. They did say that they had received other complaints about the product discrepancy.

I bought a set in 2011 from George. They were rare then but he had come upon a batch and offered them up at $100 ea, IIRC. They come with the crimped on braided rubber piece, which I quickly removed considering todays gasoline blends. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yup. I bought 4 from George about 3 years ago and paid $149 each. Now going rate when you can find them is $250-$300.

Where in Wisconsin are you?

My college is in Minneapolis, but home is in Whitewater WI. My house is about 40 minutes from Rock Auto HQ.
