lol those are definitely not truck injectors, infact I have no idea what they are. It looks like an injector for a clown car ls1 build. Very colorful

Yep, ford green tops, you can use them by changing the pigtails on your wires, or get a hold of whipple496 and he can probably hook you up with some plug and play adapters. That's what I used on my 60's. You will also need to make some 5/8" spacers and longer bolts for the fuel rails.
