LT1 Intake conversion - Injector question
For those of you who have done an LT1 conversion, or have seen them done - How did you fit the standard TPI injectors?
At the moment I've taken the clips off as there doesn't seem to be a use for them on the LT1 fuel rails. Pushed the injector into the fuel rail then bolted it tight down.
The thing is the injector doesn't seem to go very far into the manifold and I can clearly see the O-ring sitting there. They are tight down but I'm unsure if they are supposed to go in deeper?
Any advice greatly apreciated!

lt1 fuel rail uses different retaining clips than the tPi...not all the injectors are the same, fit at the manifold end is not critical (as long as no vacuum leak is present) but at the fuel rail a leak will be catatrophic -- use the lt1 clips.
