Hello All,
I need to replace a couple of leaky injectors on my '74 1.8 and wondered if anyone has used an aftermarket injector with success/failure or heard of anyone who has. A knowledgeable friend recommended that I stick with NOS Bosch. Stoddard sells injectors and the salesperson told me that their part number supercedes the Bosch number, but I am unsure about that and they were unable to tell me who manufacturers them or the country of origin.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
James

Those look visually equivalent to the long hose Bosch 0280150116. Can’t find any flow ratings but that just my visual assessment.

There are still plenty of the correct Bosch 0280150112 injectors out there as NOS that I would just pay $25 more and get the real deal.

I did the research on this several years ago. The Bosch 0280150116 injectors have a slightly higher flow rate than a Bosch 0280150112 injector. So if you are running a modified engine with L-Jet, the bigger injectors help.

And the Beck/Arnely injectors are cheaper than the Bosch, and work fine. I have been running them in Betty's car for almost a decade and have not had to buy new injectors in that time.
