Two of them performed correctly but in between touches dripped gas

One of them shot gas out when it felt like it, otherwise just dripped when it was touched.

ok. did you try this with a square wave at 12v?

They are the orange ones, I messaged the ebay seller (is that you?) about a refund, but before I do that I want to make sure that my factory ones work. Now I just need to find some pintle caps and quick.

I don't have a 12v battery unfortunately to test them with that.

yes. use your car battery. injectors will not work properly on 9v.

Did you by chance read the whole thread? Do you think that the issue's I'm having are in line with leaky injectors? I will test out with my car battery tomorrow morning.

Just wanted to follow up. The eBay seller for flamethrowers sent me a replacement for the faulty injector and things are working well. I spent way too much money on this rebuild but I know its done right. Ended up picking up a new Flowmaster CAT. So New heads and gaskets, flamethrower injectors, LCE headers, Flowmaster CAT, and flowmaster muffler. Should be smooth sailing from here.

Just need to fix the one coolant line I cracked on the last plenum remove and I will be back to disturbing the neighbors with my "loud old truck"

Thanks for all who helped.
