Anybody ever throw those pencil type all green 42lb injectors in? if so, any problems? Thinking about grabbing them off ebay..

Me personally wouldn't buy non ford injectors or brand name injectors off eBay.

Some of them can have a different connector.

You can buy injector connector adapters online.
If you're getting a tune, and the tuner is competent, most injectors will work for you.

Hmm. I guess for 42 lb injectors, the ford Lightning ones are the way to go if I wanna play it safe.

Yes. That's the safe path. Spending a little more on injectors and MAF can save you headaches and retunes down the road. A lot of aftermarket parts today are imported low quality junk that do not belong on American sports cars.

just grabbed some used lightning injectors. Since theyre used should I clean them, or put new o-rings and filters?

They're easy to get to if you find problems but I'd for sure change the o-rings since they're so cheap and will stop leaks because fuel leaks are never good.

Check NAPA for O rings and tip caps. You can get away with out them if the injectors are clean. Replacement end caps are usually different than the original.
