they say the injectors from mustang 5.0 will bolt right in but i haven't witnessed this for myself so i'd research a little more. try search for 5.0 injectors and see what others are sayin'.

my jeep kinda skips too. Stock everything. New headgasket. and does not run hot. So I would think its something other than the injectors. Did you notice anything after you added those?

Have you reset the computer? It needs to see the change in fuel flow. Unhook the cables from the battery for about half an hour, then try it.. Or if you dont feel like waiting you can touch the cables together for 15 seconds, but alot of people dont recommend that. Also my girlfriends 96 misses every once in a while at idle...
