I've got a -minor- problem...
See, I bought a set of FMS #19 fuel injectors a few weeks ago, and just got around to trying to install them today after my final. I also fixed my IAT wiring (broken wire) and removed the TB to do a little mild porting with a Dremel.
Now, I was under the impression that the FMS #19 injectors would fit on a 2000 Dodge Dakota 3.9L with no real big hassle. Remove the rail, pull the old ones, install new ones, reinstall rail. Right?
Well, removing the rail wasn't too bad. I had to remove the A/C compressor bracket but no big deal there. The rail lifted off ok, and the clips came off good too. No problem removing the injector either. The FMS #19 plugged right in as advertised... then... disaster!
-THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR IS WRONG!-
I can't plug the connector in! Help! The plug on the injector is rectangular, while the one on the truck is square! Is there an adapter for this? Did they send me the wrong injectors? Whats going on?

Sounds like you did get the wrong injectors. Hopefully you can swap them out for the correct ones.
And look at it this way: the next time you go to change them, it will much easier due to the practice you have got.

Yeah! Too bad they aren't difficult to do... four bolts, lift. I'll say one thing, getting the TB off and the fuel rail off was a -lot- easier than I expected. Kind of reminds me of my old carburated 1980 Chevy.

No... looks like Design II is right. Anyone else have input?

They changed the connectors in 2000. You have to get the connectors off of a earlier model truck.
