Lucas injectors

[Walter Sherwin]

Yup.  Most of the OE's at one time or another have offered flex-fuel
variants of their products.  Although, volumes were low, and boneyard
populations may be correspondingly low also.  But, you could always get
friendly with your local parts counter dude and then track down "new"
injectors if so desired.  On the GM side, look for meth/eth Luminas, or eth
S-10's, or Brazil applications.  On the Ford side, look for eth Crown Vic's
and some eth trucks.  I'm sure there are others as well.  All should be well
spelled out in the parts computers/catalogues.  In upcoming years, more and
more OE's will be offering garden variety vehicles designed to run on E85,
so the sources of alky tolerant used parts should improve dramatically.

In an older post, someone mentioned that the Crown VIC uses a 160 #/Hr alky
tolerant port injector in some 4.6litre applications.  Bosch style EV-3,
Bosch # 0 280 150 839, Ford # F5TE-B5A.  Might be a good substitute for the
currently horrifically priced aftermarket & Bosch Racing equivalents.  Not
sure if it's SAT or P&H, but I'd assume P&H.
