I pulled the injectors from my '85 and dropped them off at a Bosch 
injector service shop here in Houston.  Having all four cleaned and 
tested cost me about $85.  The inner and outer seals they put on them 
were kind of funky though - different sizes for the same seal on 
different injectors.  Fortunately I had a set of seals I bought from 
Ken at Vanagain a while back.  The engine ran some better.  I didn't 
bother replacing the rusty brackets but did replace the bolts holding 
them down.
