I put em in the front trunk in the "break down" box. I was impressed,
though, AdvanceAutoParts had both in stock and they seem to fit well.

That's what's confusing me, because the #2 cylinder, which is the
problem cylinder, seems to be running fine, as the engine cuts down when
I unplug that injector. That's a good idea with the timing light, I'll
try that tomorrow...   Btw, how do I take out an injector to see if fuel
is spraying?

'71, I measured voltage coming out of the harness going into the
injector with the engine running, and it jumped around rhythmically with
the running of the engine. I tested impedance across the injector, it
was 5.9 Ohms.  

Thanks!
