There is someone on Cherokee Forum that provides the correct injectors all refurbished.

There are MANY cheap chinese knock-off injectors out there. Get original rebuilt ones!! trevor.skankfootracing@gmail.com
True that!

I always check gals prior to install. Once and a while I find a bad one. Take nothing for granted, specially these days. quality has gone down the drain in so many ways, but even in the good ole days, I checked the gaps before instal.

Update fellas,
I ended up finding my old injectors. Cleaned them up and bought new o-rings. Tested the resistance, all were 14.4 - 14.5. Cleaned them out by using a tire valve stem, carb cleaner, and alligator clips. Pulsed them a number of times with trick I saw on YouTube.
All were spraying as they should. Put some marvels mystery oil on o-rings and installed. Cranked right up and idling steady right under 1k RPM. I attached a screenshot of the injectors that I had ordered and it clearly says 30lbs… As my dad says “Ignorance can be expensive” so definitely a lesson learned. I appreciate all the help and advice from you guys. My old XJ definitely wouldn’t be where it is if I didn’t have this forum. Again thanks fellas!

Contact the people on ebay, who you purchased them from. They should offer you a replacement set of the proper flow for your model. I recently purchased a set from. elinjectors. They were too big so they sent me a replacement set, and all i had to do was ship them back. They were very helpful. The name is. elinjector

I'd ask for a refund. Return them and get the correct ones from someone we can trust.
