Yeah, but the fuel rail ports may need to be machined slightly bigger. I had it done.... cost me $10.

DSM injectors are a direct fit if u use the o-ring from your stock injectors for the fuel rail.

I use MSD injectors which is very similar to these Delphi units and I never machined my fuel rails nor my customers. Like Mikesim said, the trick is in the O-ring.

It must depend on the manufacturer. I bought the Lucas brand "DSM" injectors and i had to drill out the fuel rail slightly. It was not the difference in the O-ring the injector was physically to big to fit even with no O-ring.

Exactly. Lucas, RC, Delphi and PTE all use the Delphi body. So any of those will require the rail to be machined.

Just out of curiosity, why is not possible to have it machined? Take them the rail and the injector (with o-ring) and say, "Make it fit".

Hint-Hint "MSD"= no headache/plug and play. Even my 95lb/hr injectors came ready to plug and play.

Because I'm lazy and just rather get something that can directly fit in instead of have to go through getting my rail machined.

So I guess MSD DSM injectors is what i should get. Is ebay the place to get these or is their a better place to get them from. Also 72lbs = 750cc right?

Neither as both use Delphi bodies. MSD refers to the type of electrical connector, not the body itself. If you are looking for a direct fit, look for a Denso bodied injector.

Honestly, those look just like the Delphi body injectors. Unless they are specifically Denso, I wouldn't count on them fitting perfectly. Companies like HKS, Sard, etc all use the Denso bodies.
