Default Ford 5.8 injectors?

I was reading all the post about injector switching for the 4.0. I did a search found out 5.0 and neon injectors would work. I have some injectors for a 1990 ford 351/5.8 L motor, came out of a 1990 ford f250. My question is will these injectors work?

If they are yellow or some look yellowish orange, they are #19 injectors which would work fine. If they are blue, they are #24 injectors which would be too big for an engine that hasn't been stroked or had other major performance mods.

AFAIK you dont have to retune it. Just clear the computer and let it relearn the fuel map.
