Recently, I had a problem with one of the Cadillacs(Mama's, of course), and needed to replace the infectors on the Northstar engine. Searching around, I could get new ones for anywhere from $90, to $120 EACH. I found a feller on fleabay that had some rebuilts, but not for my year. This guy also does infectors for other engines, including Corvettes. Anyway, He offered to rebuild mine, so I sent him a set of extras I had. 4 were usable, 2 were questionable, and 2 were dead. He rebuilt the 6, and sent them back...NO CHARGE. He offered to check the ones in the car if I would send them to him, so I did. He let me know that the ones out of the car were flowing much less fuel than the first ones I sent, and wanted to know the part # on the ones he had already done, so he could research what might be the difference. In the meantime, he actually went out and bought some infectors to rebuild for my application, rebuilt those, flow-matched them, and sent them to me...and THEN charged me less than what we had originally agreed on. I went ahead and paid the original cost, anyway.

Long story short(too late...), this feller went above and beyond to get me a full set of working infectors. I installed them today, and the car is now running as it should.
I just wanted to pass along this feller's ebay name, so ya'll might give him a shot if you need any infectors for your Corvette, Camaro, or whatever. He's a stand-up guy, imho, and his prices are really sweet. He cleans, does electrical checks, and flow checks all infectors, and will get you a set that is flow matched.

Take a look at his feedback, too....
Mama's been driving the '85 Corvette for the past 3 weeks, while I had her Cadrack ripped apart....first time it has been on the road in years! Still runs great!

will check him out . wonder if he takes trade ins? there was another outfit that sold these and said they would give something for them and when i asked they said they wouldn't.
replaced mine a couple years ago and they were 24# instead of 22#. was told it wouldn't hurt it but want to replace them with the correct ones. thanks for the tip.

Good post. Although I am not in need of any injectors at this point, it is nice to know I can always come back here and find this information when that day does arrive.
