Default Attention Powerstroke mechanics HELP NEEDED!

Alright my question is I have a customer who wants me to work on his 7.3L non turboed Powerstroke I believe he said its an 88 or 89 model year,What I want to know is what is the Specifications for the injector pop off pressure? I have an old Bacharach injector pop tester will this be able to do the job,as I have heard Powerstrokes used oil pressure to pop the injectors as well but I am absolutely clueless on the Automotive side,I'm an AG diesel technician so I do know how to work on injectors,I just don't know what exactly to expect on the Automotive side.Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

Is that sarcasm? It had better be because AG diesels have injectors, and they fire the old way with fuel atomizing at generally between 2500 PSI and 3200 PSI.

T444E = powerstroke not idi. Just because they are both 7.3l doesn't make them the same

No but they are pretty similar according to the site.A few differences but nothing real major like timing or compression.
