Just got my fuel injectors back from witch hunter. The portion where
the rubber elbow fuel line attaches to the injector, does that need paint too? I didn't pay attention if that was bare metal or painted before shipping them out. Thanks Tod |

Thanks Tod Tod, If you're talking about the "body" of the injector, below the plastic (yellow, in my case), it should be painted. Satin black. I hav some witch hunter's too. They seem to strip all paint with thier process - but it works! Pat |

Pat , the main body section I painted satin black, the plug end section where the fuel line attaches / where the fuel injector screen is, is the area that I'm refering to.
Thanks |

Thanks Tod, If we're taling about the upper "nipple", where the fuel line attaches, it is bare metal. A pic would be nice, but I think I know what you're talking about. Think about it. If the upper "nipple" wre painted, tha gas would lift off the paint & send it into the screen. Still would like to see a pic oif the specific area. Pat |

Pat were on the same sheet of music. I guess my concern would be rust getting into the injector over time due to the surface being bare metal. Valid point with the paint.
