82 air cooled.

I just replaced all 4 injectors and it cured my deacceleration backfire.  I did have a leaking injector and believe that is what caused my backfire.  Very noticeable improvement in acceleration also; can do 0 to 60 in 32 seconds now, as opposed to the over a minute times prior to the new injectors!
