     Paul, I wasn't referring to your installation; just old Mazda injectors in general - they often leak after shutdown.  Paul L. is 'sorta'  right about the Ford injectors fitting.  The
     electrical connector is the same but the 'male' fuel ends are of a slightly different size.  I measured these 'ends' and posted them a few months back but I don't have the info on my work
     computer.  So the standard Mazda fuel rail will not work without modification because the Ford fuel rail ends are larger (the fuel rail needs to be drilled larger)  and the FI ports in the
     block need a bushing adapter to make the hole smaller.

     Have a great Xmas Eve,   Ken Powell

True Ken the fuel rail will have to change but they are a lot cheaper.
