An interesting thing worth mentioning about the Ford injectors is that they have a Ford# on one side and a Bosch number on the other. The Bosch # on the original injectors is 0280150706. I read somewhere that Bosch no longer makes this injector. Of course they have a replacement available. The Bosch # for the replacement is the same Bosch # on the side of the Ford injector. So basically, the Ford injector would actually be the specified replacement. I'd also bet that Ford has cranked out more of the 19lb/hour and 24lb/hour injectors then Bosch when you figure in how many millions of Mustangs, F-series pick-ups, Crown Vics/Grand Marquis, Town cars, and t-birds/cougars/Mark VIIs they built with the 302 and 351 engines. The number would be quite a lot of if they've been making injectors in-house since the mid-late 80s.
