Bentley says that the AFC engines have a ~6 ohm resistor in series
with each pair of injectors, and that the injector resistance is 2-3
ohms.  It also says that in the California models the resistance is
built into the ECU.  Neither the 80/81 nor the 81/82 schematics show
this.  If this is true (and they have a photograph of the resistor
pack on 24.6) then the voltage that the injectors see would be about
1.25/7.25 x system voltage of ~14 volts, or about 2.4  volts.
