I am considering replacing the fuel injectors in the 2.9L in my 87 B2. Mostly because so much of the engine has been replaced yet these are still the original. Had the question been brought up when other work was being done I would have just had them replaced rather than put old ones in.
While the engine basically runs okay, the fuel economy has been really low (18mpg with manual trans when I've always gotten slightly over 22mpg). While I tend to think the fuel economy issue isn't related to the injectors, I don't like having these old injectors of unknown condition in what is otherwise new.
So my question is, other than basically putting in an OEM replacement, is there any direct fit replacement injectors I might be considering? For example, on the Jeep we have there is injector with four jets available to replace the stock which has just one.
