I'm making the plunge to put GM tbi on my 85 GW - 360. The junk yard I'm working with has several throttle bodies to chose from (already pulled). What do I look for to make sure I get the correct injectors?

In regards to your other post, you still need a AMC intake, not GM. Edelbrock Performer is good, plus a lot lighter, but you could still use the stock one if you wanted.

Get one from a Chevy 350 V8. The 305's injectors are smaller and won't support the 360. The 4.3's injectors are even worse. If they have any from a 7.4 V8, tell me how much they want for them and where they are. I'd be interested in picking them up if they have any.

Since they are all sitting on a shelf, how will I know which one came off of a 350 vs a 305? Are the injectors marked such that it is obvious?

You should try to get everything off one vehicle. Besides, it is probably cheaper that way and you'll be sure the wire harness matches the computer.

Here is a link to a chart of GM TBI injector flow rates from DIY-EFI list (http://www.diy-efi.org/gmecm/component_info/tbi_injectors.html)
