if I buy injectors for a 96, will they be compatible with OBD I from my 92 cutlass? WHere is the best place to buy them from?

the second set is on there all of the time it seems. They are all compatible, the later style ones are generally regauded as quiter and better. it should also be known that if you buy aftermarket injectors they may not perform as well on this engine because this engine is designed to use dual conical spray pattern injectors, which directs the fuel more towards the valves in a split V type pattern than just a single cone.

only difference I know of is the 1996 are 21lb/hr and the 1992 are 19lb/hr. I just finished installing a 1996-97 crate engine in my 1992 Cutlass. I actually used Accel (Bosch style) injectors that are 26lb/hr, which is pushing it a bit without P&P the heads and having a full new exhaust.

The GM ones match pretty well so that should be fine, but have them tested for putting out the same amount flow. My new ones i ordered were all over the place on the first set from accel. Have them cleaned by a professional with a sonic machine if they are used.

Jegs has decent prices on a set of 6 or 8 if you want the accels. (buy two sets keep the best 6)

Hope it helps.
