D-Jet injectors - What's the difference? 140-160 1973

Work is moving forward on the Yellow Peril (the 1973 145E that used a quart
of oil every 40 miles). Grandson Ben and I have pretty much assembled the
block and are looking toward the finer points of getting it into the car
and functional. The old engine is still in place. I pulled the injectors
from the old engine and also from my culch heap and found that I have several
kinds:
0 280 150 024 (5 ea)
0 280 150 036 (5 ea)
0 280 150 045 (1 ea)
Unnumbered blue (1 ea) marked "RAM"

Can anyone tell me what the differences are between these different parts?
I am about to send some to CruzinPerformance in Michigan, which has a
refurbishing service for them. They have data on the 036 in their database
but not on the others. Looks like if the difference is flow rate,
it might be important not to mix them.

Any light any of you can shed on this will be much appreciated.
BTW CruzinPerformance cleans and flow tests these for $11 each, which
seems pretty good to me. They also test coil resistance/current draw,
leakage, etc as part of the cleaning/testing service. This is only based
on what Kent Thompson told me and I saw on their website, not an active plug
for their service.

    How about this one? 140-160 1973

    We got some Bosch fuel injectors at work for testing. These are of the new HDEV type direct injection. Part numbers are B438 173 503/42 002 and B438 173 503/65 014. We have tried several times to get info directly from Bosch on which vehicles these injectors fit, but they're not very responsive. Any leads would be appreciated!

    Kåre

    George, this is from a 1992 Bosch catalog...

    0 280 150 024 (5 ea) — No luck here

    0 280 150 036 (5 ea) — Volvo '71-'73 B20, '72-75 164E, '70-'73 1800E/S, plus some early '70s Mercedes
    0 280 150 045 (1 ea —) Saab '71 99, '72-'74 99 EMS, GL, GLE

    Unnumbered blue (1 ea) marked "RAM" — I have a few of these too, but they just followed me home so I don't know whose they are. If anyone knows, I'd be interested.

      Many thanks. The two left in the B30 I got from you were 036.
      Looks like from what McDuck led me to, the 024 and the 036 flow the
      same and have the same voltage so I suspect that they are pretty
      much interchangeable.
      Best regards,

      Great info. Many thanks.
      From that it at least looks like the 024 and 036 are about alike.
      Did not see the 045 listed anywhere.

        The 045 is a jaguar injector 140-160 1973

        The o45 seems to be listed as a Jaguar fuel injector, per the website http://www.opel6070club.com/suutin.pdf.

          The 045 is a jaguar injector 140-160 1973

          On closer inspection in better light the number was not 045.
          It was 015.

          Many thanks for your effort.
