So stupid, saw a fuel leak around the nipple on injector #3 and decided to tighten the nut... Next thing i know, the stupid nipple falls into the engine bay
.

I have a questions, can I get any injector #3 and swap the nozzel (I have a .205) and it should work fine?

Thanks,

Ken

Ken, that should work.

How are you skills at swapping nozzles?

Also, #3 is a the much-coveted nozzle. You may have issues finding one.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I just swap the SMOG nozzles in 2 weeks ago.. so I still remember how to do it. Does anyone know how much does the number injector go for at the dealer? Saw one on ebay, but couldn't decide what to do!

I've seen the #3 sell for big $$CDN. If you can buy one cheap, do so!
