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 |

I would put new injectors in the car. Running anything that carries gasoline that is 50 years old is a risk. New injectors, hoses, stainless steel lines, and the proper clamps are cheap insurance against a fire.
As for fire... Been there, done that. Watching your 914 burn is the stuff of nightmares. Just my $.02. Clay |

Just my $.02. Clay We’ll that was dramatic lol! I decided to go the new injector route too, but I’ve also had great success in rebuilding injectors. As such, I’m going to test my old ones as soon as the come off the car. If they still exceed the minimum 2.4 ohm threshold, I may have my old ones rebuilt and hang onto them for a while. For @StarBear record purposes. All the new injectors I bought tested at 2.6 ohms. Manual says 2.4 as the min passable score. Van |
