Injector O-Rings
I bought a set of 703 injectors to upgrade my 97 4.0, my question is, I'm sure new o-rings will go a long way, which o-rings do I purchase? Factory ones for my 97 or do I need to get some from a different model?

As far as o-rings, I would definitely replace them regardless of how they look and feel, unless you have proof from the seller that he/she installed new ones. You can get away with oil leaks. Gasoline leaks however... That's a different story.
I'd recommend Felpro o-rings. Like cruiser said, a dab of clean motor oil is how you should get em in there

After posting of course i spent 10 more minutes searching for the answer and found it. I spent 10$ at oreilly for new orings, I'm cheap but for 10$ I'll survive.
I didn't use vasoline because I've always heard that it will eat rubber over time, don't know about the truth of that or not. Jeep runs great, starts quicker, better throttle response. The injector ports work pretty gunked up, all cleaned up, hoping to pick up a couple mpg's!
