My dad got 300,000 miles out of the spider injector on his 4.3L S-10, but it sure ran a lot better when we replaced it. But I wouldn't mess with one that only had 100,000 miles on it.
When you go to seal the intake valley against the manifold, don't overdo it with RTV. It just takes a 1/4" bead.
There is also a torque pattern you need to follow when you snug the manifold down, be sure and do that properly.
