    Pintle Cap & Injector Seal repair kit. Dirt cheap and comes with enough caps and o-rings for 6 injectors.

        Has everything. A pintle cap, spacer and 2 orings per injector. The caps are the smooth style without the little fins, but they are still fine.

          Does that come with 6 or just 1?

          I looked it up on their website; it looks like that's just for one for 3.99.

                Yeah,

                i was just wondering. I got mine from kragan but they didn't come as a set. Had to get them separate.

                  Am I correct in the assumption that we are referring to the O-ring kit for the 1990 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT?

                  I went to NAPA this morning and they said that the kit had one blue cap. I looked at it and it doesn't look anything like the pintle cap that's on them now.

                    Yeah,

                    most will look slight differently. Let me guess, the cap was longer right? If look at the injectors, you'll notice there's a space. All the longer cap does is fine in that space, but it sits and fits fine.

                      alright i went out and bought 6 of these and i went to put them on, i put the spacer on then the o ring then the cap, there wayyyy too much space btw the oring and the cap now, enough space to fit another o ring in there, and when you put them into the engine they dont go in all the way, am i not pushing the caps on enough or did i get the wrong ones?
                      Im a little pissed now cause i fucked up one of my injectors...
