Default to cut or not to cut.

found some 784 fuel injectors at a good price. my xj is a 96 with the ev1 electrical connector. is it not advisable to cut and splice the 784 connectors into my harness. ive read many posts on this upgrade but nobody mentions splicing . I didn't want to drop another 30 bucks on the adapter clips.

yes u can. Just make sure you hook up wires to correct polarity There will be a small insignia on the injector down in where you plug it in. You will see a small + sign.

if splicing using inline splices try and find the weatherproof ones that uses a heatgun or hairdryer to melt the ends closed for environmental sealing.
