But those are for a flex fuel harness, right 1SlowHoe? They are different from a regular truck harness.

Yeah, that other connector doesn't look like the multec II connector. AFAIK there is no seperate connector end available to make an adapter like that for the multec II injector.

TurboAV - Here is a writeup I did on how to convert over to bosch style injector(Ford SVO 42# included). It's not hard but, it is kinda time consuming. Once you switch over to this style injector your choice for injectors opens up a ton.

That adapter does fit my flex fuel clip BUT it was designed for Corvettes if I remember right. It just happened to fit my clip as well. I have not seen a vette clip to verify they are the same. Those are locally manufactured at a shop close by me. I bet if you guys could find me the part number to your clips, the guy could make adapters to go from standard LS1/Truck clips to the Ford injectors. I can at least ask. Anybody actually want some?

I have had MANY issues with my stock clips coming loose and causing misfires. If these adapters don't work flawlessly, I'm cutting the wires and grabbing a solder gun. I'll let you know after I get it running

I believe that the 8.1 marine injectors are 42lb/hr and the 8.1 gas injectors are 31lb/hr

I believe Harlan has looked for them before from his connector source and there is no such seperate connector available.
