I have some injector numbers that I can add. These numbers are the
ones that are etched into the top of the injector. Some can be matched
with the below information.

1-3/8" bore 2bbl, from 2.8l truck: GM5235430*RPD

grn/wht: GM5235279*RPD
org/blk: GM5235206*RPD
blu/blk: GM1708430*RPD

dk red/lt blu: GM5235231*RPD BBC 90#/hr?

p.s. Steve, if you see this, can it be added to the diy-gmecm info.
