Air Sensors injectors

[hal stclair]

I just installed an old Air Sensors fuel injection system and am trying to find out what injectors they used. I know it's an old unit but a new system
just isn't in the budget at this time.
After the one ton, reaction arm rear, new master cylinder/sensitized booster and all new rubber brake hoses, new T Bar's with adjustable pork chops,
new 15,000 A/C, power converter and 1200 watt Xantrex inverter, 3.55 differential, headers and exhaust new tires as well as all new fuel and water
hoses, replaced air compressor and air valves rebuilt, this $1000 give away coach has been the epitome of project creep. Sure hope the daughter and
family enjoy it.

I found the following here http://auto-nomics.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/faq.html

What type injector and impedance is the AiRSensors N-8A analog or F.I.R.S.T. digital ECU designed for?

The N-8A and its derivatives, (Superjection, N-8A-HD etc.) and the F.I.R.S.T digital ECUs each have four injector drivers, designed for low impedance
units. Some modified N-8A ECUs had six or eight drivers installed. The majority of these "peak and hold" injectors we have encountered are of a Bosch
design, the type used largely by Ford in their two-barrel throttle bodies (5-liter T-Birds, Mustangs, etc.) Typically, they measure 2-4 ohms. After
pressing a barbed adapter onto the injectors, a high-pressure hose then top-fed fuel from a fuel rail. Several different flow rates were available: 36
lb. /hr, 46 lb. /hr, 52 lb. /hr, and 80 lb. /hr. have been seen in use. The fuel pressure regulators were set for either 39 or 55 psi.

Though most low impedance drivers today are considered to be peak and hold designs, the AiRSensors analog units appear to be saturated, (while the
digital units appear to be a modified peak and hold), when their current waveforms are examined!

What all this means is that an AiRSensors analog or digital ECU can support one low impedance (peak and hold) injector per driver, or at least four
high impedance (saturated) 14-17 ohm injectors per driver.

I have one of the old N8 analog systems. Have run it on a couple of vehicles. While not as sophisticated as more odern units, they work pretty well if
you have tuning skills. Much easier if you invest in a wide band AF meter

I have wondered what injector size I could move up to as well and if anyone knows a specific interchange to get the 80# size Id like to know.

On the dyno I was maxed out right at 400HP at 55# psi- so I believe I have the 52 # injectors. [406 SBC that also made 525/ft] THat would be right in
the range for the GMC application and leave a little room

Someday I may try to mate it up with the 455 and a low [5-7#] boost turbo built more for torque than HP

I was under the impression they were 30lb injectors with the fuel pump 39lbs ? Wally's information seems to have run me into a wall so far. The
throttle body's(Ford) that use the injectors seem to only be available complete, no separate parts like injectors. I'm still looking though.

In larger cities there is usaully a facility or two that cleans /flows/exchanges injectors for HiPo applications. Im thinling they could ID them

The injectors I have look like rail type wrather than TBI type injectors. A holley projection I have has 4 TBI type injectors
