Default Wrong injectors, plug swap?
So I was at the jy over the weekend and the girlfriend agreed to tag along. Long story short, I was being rushed and didn't check if my 98 needed the 703s or the 784s(late year switch) and grabbed 784s. Can I go back and grab plug ends for the 784s, or should I just go get 703s?

Thanks!

Don't butcher the factory harness, get the proper injectors if needed.

Thats kinda what I figured. Guess I'll just clean up these 784s and maybe break even on the cost.

Thanks!

Cargo shorts at the U Pull-It keep the cost of small items down.

With the number of times they have let me walk out with small clips/switches/pigtails, I'm Ok with paying for more injectors.

Cargo shorts temporarily keep the cost of small items down for thieves. They cause the prices to be higher for honest working men.

Are the 784's the ones with ev6 connectors that will work on my 99? I may be interested in taking those off your hands.

They most certainly are. I grabbed 8 in case there were a few that didn't refurb very well.

You'll want to replace the filters and o rings obviously, but there are write ups on here for that.

I've never looked into rebuilding injectors but I'm sure it can't be that hard.
