what do i torque the injectors to

i'm installing 370's tomorrow and wanted to know what to torque them to. they came with no instructions so help me out. where do the "c"shaped washers go and where do the rubber seals go. am i worrying too much about this or should i just pull the stock injectors out and assemble the 370's just like the stocks

The rubbers go on top of the nut. You will need a small screwdriver to get the rubber washer in the groove after they are tightened down. The c shape washers go on the small fuel line that connects the injectors to each other. It's easy to tell once you start pulling it apart. Also if you got multiple thicknesses of flat copper washers go with the thinest ones you have.

I'm sure there is a torque value but I've just gotten them tight.
Make sure to completely remove the injection and return lines. Bending them out of the way will make the job much harder and risks cracking the lines.

Dont forget to run a bore brush in the bores before installing new injectors.

Did you try that on your own first?
