1987 Injector connector

[dbuser2]

I have a 1987 Ford Ranger 2.9L with 91k miles on it. It sat quite a bit this year because I was out of town a lot and didn't drive it. I removed the old gas and replaced the gas filter. I'm now going to put in injector kits. I can't get to where I can pull the connector off to see what kind of connector to get to use to cycle the injector when I blow air through it after cleaning. I see 2 or 3 kinds of connectors online that claim to be replacements. Does anyone have a good picture of one or know of where I can go online to see the correct one? I went to the fordinjector site mentioned here, but, that site is down for infringing on Ford.

Damn, http://www.fordfuelinjection.com/ was a really helpful site. I will have to make sure to copy the info in such sites for my own use in the future. I hope that they can put it back up, without the "infringing" material. I really don't remember any.
And I can't help you in your quest either, sorry.

Any EV-1 connector should work.

Well what I'm finding is connectors for the Ranger that have off centered slots with release and centered slots without release, ect. The only good view I get is looking from the wire side behind the connector. Just guessing but it appears to be without the release and just guessing it is a centered slot. The release may not make a difference but the slot may. Thanks for responding.

Couple of Questions on Injector Re-Assembly

I finally got the injector rack off and injectors separated. I thought I was going to have to get Clyde the Orangutan from the zoo to take all this stuff apart. It has been on since new. First question is has anyone had a problem taking the injector filters out. I'm using a 11/64th screw which is .1719 dia. I saw before the injector site went away that a #10 screw (.190dia) could be used. I just can't seem to pull that sucker out. Is there a special tool I can buy from somewhere that can do it or is it suppose to be that difficult? The other question is when re-assembly do I assemble the injectors onto the rack first or replace the injectors onto the intake and then mount the injector rack? All I have is a Haynes manual and it doesn't quite say so. Thanks for all your help! I'm taking pictures to document each of these steps so probably help the next guy.

My Solution

I actually had to use a 15/64" drill to drill out the filters. Works good. On some of the injectors I was able to actually pop out the filters by moving the drill bit with a couple of quick up motions. I then used an uphostery hammer to tap the new ones in. They didn't just push in with the fingers. They do fit a little tight. I am documenting the whole ordeal with photos and plan to post them in the tech forum somewhere.
