Can injectors be installed in a parking lot ?
 

I'm looking at a 1991 dodge D350 which has a bad injector and dealer is sellling as is.

Could I install a new injector in the parking lot with the right tools ?

Thanks guys !

If there is light and it isn't freezing, why not? I don't even think you'll need a jack and stands.

should be a pretty easy job really. You need to pull the injector some way or another and IIRC a 17mm wrench to take the injector nut off.

The toughest part is just keeping the whole area clean. If you can do that, then I don't see why not.

no worse than changing a flat tire[coffee][laugh]

So I disconnect the injector line and replace injector ?

Thats it ? Do I have to prime anything ?

Thanks Guys !

I have done the injectors without pulling the lines from the pump and its tricky as they are all tied together with special line clamps. You probably will have to pull the lines to the front three cylinders all at once to get the lines out of the way enough to pull the injector out. If the lines are not broken from the pump, no priming required.

Perfectly possible, did it on the street next to my apartment building in college. Just bring a parts tray or something to keep things neat, and maybe a stool to reach far back to #6.

Beware, bending the lines even just a little bit can crack, weaken or make them very difficult to line back up.
You actually will save yourself much work in the long run by totally removing the lines by disconnecting them at both ends.
That includes the small return line.

Fair enough.. I did not bend the lines but propped them up with a wood dowl between the valve covers to hold them about 1-2" above the injector.

I swapped out injectors on a members truck in a parking lot on a dyno day. Nothing says fun like an engine fresh off the dyno. A small cup or tray is nice for the small banjo bolts and horseshoe washers for the return line, easy to drop and hard to find.

I witnessed that.. Hot engine and injector swap in the sun. Tate is an animal. [laugh]
