d-jet fuel injectors from cadillac? 140-160


Does anyone know specifics of the cadillac fuel injectors?
My understanding is that in the 70s they used bosch d-jet
injectors. My goal is to find cheap new injectors for
fitting a new fuel injection system into a d-jet car using
the existing factory intake manifold, fuel rail and fuel
pump but using brand new injectors, computer, map sensor
and TPS sensor.

I've got an idea where I can get the computer+map sensor
for cheap (it's programmable from a laptop) but the correct
injectors are $80 to $120 each. If I know the flow rate
of the injectors at a given fuel pressure, I can program
the computer to adapt to that flow rate for the needs of
the motor, and these caddy bosch injectors at $10 each would
be a bargan. But only if I know the flow rate...

Lastly, many of the parts are typically purchased by
groups of people as "group purchases". I'd be interested in
sharing the work with other people or if I get it working
I'd write up documentation for how to do this on your
car. The minimum kit would include:

computer / map sensor (megasquirt at http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html)
($200)

injectors (if new old stock caddy injectors)
($50-$90)

new temp sensors (air / coolant)
($60)

some TPS sensor (probably a GM TPS to replace the bosch unit)
($60)

new injectors (because the old ones are probably worn and
if new ones work and only cost $10-$20, why not?)

volvo sourced D-jet head, d-jet intake manifold, d-jet fuel
rail, stock fuel pump and fuel lines / fuel tank and fuel
pressure regulator.

It could also work with an O2 sensor for better fuel economy
on the highway.

I'm sure there are lots of details I'm missing, especially
since I want to convert my 164 which doesn't have fuel
injection right now, but at the moment the big show stopper
is that I don't want to spend $700 on fuel injectors...

If anyone knows anything about these caddy bosch injectors,
please let me know.
chris
