inlet manifold differences??
« on: 20 May 2012, 14:04 »
i remember when i changed mine for the polished one i recall it being a different part number but i still fitted it anyway.......

now with all the talk of differet injectors (one with the oring at the end and the other with the oring befor the metal straw-like tube that gois deeper into the mani) im thinking i might have dropped a clanger (could this be the reason to it running rich??)

i think they did look the same but i think im gonna have to find the old one and double check  :embarassed:



does anyone know if it will make a difference??
