got a few questions on a few things....

as the title states....
I can't find a list of injector top colors. Like red is this and so on. I am looking to upgrade the ignition and fuel systems to run more boost but i want to get all my reserch out of the way so when i have all the parts (got most of them already) i can go ahead and get it done. So does anyone have the list? and i plan on upgrading to the 255 lph fuel pump. And are the SC injectors a direct swap to what is on the engine now? since thats where i will pull some parts from.

As far as ignition i was looking at going with high energy wires and plugs to match possibly e3's, And possibly a flame thrower coil from msd.

And what is the safest amount of boost i can push the old IHI turbo to without causing damage to it and without upgrading for now?

I was wondering what the seat height differences were with a manual track vs. a power one on the seat. The power seat feels too high as i have maybe a half inch between my head and the roof of the car. and i remember having more room than that with my manual tracks when i had my 84. Im just wondering if the manual track would drop the seat lower in the car.

Thats all for now. Now you see some of my plans for the old girl. And thanks for your reading time.

ok looks like i have brown top injectors and the SC has red. So since brown isn't on the list what is the rate for them? Ok just found out that brown top injectors are 35#. Now is this correct?

FWIW, I put a manual track in place of the factory power in my Sport, and my head is now closer to the roof. Too close for my liking, but there's always a trade-off. Do you want weight loss, or comfort? lol

My reasoning is that it's (my car, that is) isn't a couch with wheels, so the comfort factor has fallen by the wayside, along with a good bit of weight.

I've also got a moonroof, so I reckon the headliner is a teeny bit lower than one without.
