Fuel Injector Question

Hey guys,

I just bought some new old fuel injectors and while being shipped some small pieces broke off. I'm talking about the four "prongs" that sit on the ends of the fuel injectors, the "interior" ends. My question is what do these "prongs" do and will the injectors work ok if installed? Thanks!

That sucks. Shipping did cause it but only because the packaging it was put in was pretty much non-existent. The prongs that broke off are in the package. I just pmed the guy I bought if from, an orger with a 100% rating so hopefully I can get something back from him. Thanks for your offer, once I get this taken care of I'll be in touch.

I took a look at what Mr Injector has and didn't see any pintle caps that would seem to work. Got any more info on that?
