that is the correct part number. You have a late, probably replacement AFM. The black wire on top was not standard when the buses were made - at least I have not seen one of that era. I would leave the adjustments alone until you are sure the injectors aren't sticking open.

Are bosch injectors good? I'm gonna buy some new ones and I just wanna make sure I'm buying ones.

we went with just having them cleaned and the flow tested. We used Witchhunter Performance http://www.witchhunter.com/ in Washington for several sets. They replace the filters and the nozzle covers. The other frequently recommended place is Cruizin Performance. http://www.cruzinperformance.com/fuelinj.html

The downside of new ones is that you may get a substitute which flows more or less than the originals. You will want to look at the part number you have before you send them to make sure they are the correct ones for your bus. I think that having 4 serviced is about the price of 1 new one.
