What's the part # on the green injectors?

I've got piles of old yellow and black injectors, but I need to put together a 
test setup to check them for leaks and to exercise them. I'm sure that most of 
them are probably fine, now that I've started storing them in kerosene.

If they are left out in the air the internal O-rings dry out and they will 
leak. The leak will usually go away after a week or so of exposure to gasoline, 
but it's not a sure thing. A couple of the injectors in my '71 had a bit of a 
leak when I started out to Myrtle Creek, but the leaks were all gone by the 
time we got there.
