Hi, I had initially posted this question in Cabriolet without knowing that there was a CIS-specific page..
I was in the process of replacing the injectors on my 1986 Cabriolet and noticed that all of the original injector inserts have self-destroyed over the last 34 years. They no longer serve a purpose in the shape they're in and I had to run a small vacuum hose in the intake manifold to remove the broken pieces that fell in. I was unable to find replacement inserts in Canada despite an extensive online search. There are some on Ebay or Europe market with ridiculous shipping fees. My question is, can I run the car without the lower plastic inserts - with only the brass holder? The car is otherwise in great shape. The injectors had a horrible spray pattern, which is why I replaced them in the first place.
I appreciate your help!
