WHEN HE SHOWS ME WHAT HE HAS I WILL SEND HIM A VIDEO ON HOW TO MOD THE BOTTOM PROPERLY TO FIT THE TPI LIKE A GLOVE.. IF YOU DO IT OUR WAY YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM.. UNLESS YOU ARE SAMMY CALDERONE LOL sorry for the caps

I was under the impression that because I had the TPIS bigmouth intake it was ok without a clip...?

I installed the Ford o rings and they went in farther with a nice snap.
I tested them and no leak.

hhmmm, now it looks like it's bottomed out in the base, and now the o ring might be very close to the edge of the rail.

i just sent a pm with my cell # call me i am working till at least midnight.. there is one thing you have to do to get this right.. I have a video showing the modification to the injector to make it fit right.. That o ring on the top is still too far down, I just installed the same set up in a manifold I have in the shop and I am not comfortable that this is safe.

agreed, and very cool to offer the help.
I know I spent some time measuring it up on mine when I was getting ready to try the III's. I wish I would have known then you had a vid. and or that you were doing that service as it would have saved me some time/greif.
