Can i run a set of aftermarket 2nd gen injectors in my 1st gen?

 

No not without some rework.

The fuel line fitting is different thread. The pop pressure on the injectors is higher for a P-Pump. The spray angle is different on the second gen injectors.

 

So how are people running injectors like New Era 435's and such in these trucks? Custom lines? I doesn't specify on their web site whether or not it for a 1st or 2nd gen. Not calling you a liar or anything, just curious. There is a guy I've seen with a track truck ('92 2wd 3/4 ton) and he said he is running 435's in it. Said he bought them for is tow rig which is a '96 3500. Said he ended up putting 370's in that truck though. Is he full of crap?

 

You have to put the 2nd gen nozzles into the 1st gen bodies. P pumps use larger threads for the inj. line. 14mm vs. 12mm for a VE, I believe. Pop pressure has to be reset as well.

 

New Era makes 435's and 370's for 1st gens.

 

Yeah I found them. Thanks for the help.

 

He may have swapped the nozzles and the pintle out and used the 1stgen bodies. It can be done in a vice in a few minutes.

 

Only they don't seem to be making any HP in 1st gens.
