pretty sure that the dsm will work. IIRC, all drivers reqiure the same resistence. and even a 10w10ohm inline will work. although they are a bit bulky.

Yes, you can use a dsm resistor box. Keep in mind the injectors you are about to use are very old, I would have personally spent some money on brand new injectors.

Or at least have them cleaned and tested before installation. They may be old, but are reliable when cleaned and checked.

Places like RC, Five-O motorsports, and other injector facilities. Don't think Import/Honda; think automotive.

O'Rellys & Autozone are only good for car wax, airfilters , and tire shine.

Good to know on the resistor boxes. Thanks for the info guys. I wonder if the plugs are similar? I guess if you are getting into the wiring anyway, the plug is one of the least important.

As far as the injectors you have, we'd be able to clean and test your injectors for you. As well as replace the seals, filters, and o-rings.
