Default Accel Injectors?

Awhile back I bought some Accel 30lb injectors for my '88 Vette. Im just now getting around to install them for my new Powerdyne setup and they dont fit. I ordered them specifically for the '88 TPI engine. Part number on the box is 150130.
Anyone running these injectors?

I wouldn't recommend Accel's...junk.

I lost two injectors within 1000 miles...customer service is nonexistant as well. The $390 pile sits on the shelf now...

hold on the 150130 is the same as the 830. the 130 is an individual and the 830 is a package of 8. can you take a pic of it.. maybe its packaged wrong and then you can return them.

Ill take a pic when I get off work. So they should be the exact same? Compared to the stock injectors the accels end is too short to go down far enough and have the o-ring seat in the right spot(if that makes any sense from how I worded it).
The stock ones have a narrow end that goes down far enough.

don't worry about them being to short. they are 1/4 inch too short, but they actually are suspended by the rail. you use the clip from the old injector and install the clip in the upper most slot in the injector, then put them in the rail first. lock the clips, then put on the rail. the bottom o ring will seal in the bore below the champher in the intake. If you set them in the intake first without the clips the top o ring will not go in the rail far enough to seal. No need for the pic, just put them in like that they will work.

When I sit the injector in the hole of the rail it feels like it isnt going down far enough for the o-ring to seat because the part of the injector gets wider and is blocked by the fuel rail from going down anymore. Does the locking clip go on the injector above the o ring?

Current design or past design? Did you know they changed?

the clip goes in the slot thats about 3/16 below the upper o ring. put the clip on first, then put the injector in the rail and turn the clip to lock in place, the upper o ring only goes in the rail far enough to cover the o ring,
maybe this will help.. look at the pictures. the injector is a bosch but is the same size as the accell.
