Will this work?

As long as you've got the room. They mentioned that you have to convert to a speed density if you currently use the MAF system. I don't know why!

also, if you have the ninth injector, you will not be able to just turn the rail around.
it's not a brick, it's cruise control.

Later years just enriched the fuel mixture on the other 8, eliminating the need for a cold start injector.
