I replaced the injectors in my 331 today with 42lb ford injectors im not for sure what it had they look like summit injectors not for sure they are black on top aluminum on bottom 3 big spray holes in bottom the only numbers i can find are on top where fuel rails go 2766 then where it gets fat is 01D127B it idled fine before i changed them now it idles from 500 to 1500 and it will die when I trie to start it back i have to give it gas it acts like maybr its getting to much gas i put a mass air meter calibrated to the 42lb injectors also if anyone could help i would appreciate it

Set it to 39-40 lbs at idle with the vacuum line removed and plugged.
Your best bet will be to have it dyno tuned to dail it in.
Good luck!

you probably just need a tune. When i first put my new MAF/42lb injectors on i had the same problem. The idle would surge from about 600 to 1300 when i came to a stop and after the tune my idle levels out perfectly. Your probably just loading up on fuel, does it smell real rich?
