Default Fuel Injector length

I can't figure this out. While shopping for injectors some people and speed shops indicate a type of injector will fit based on questions to model/year etc. Accel is a good example, it says it will fit other people have used them, but now that I have mine out and I measure them the length is not even close. I would think it would need to be exact since the distance when the fuel rail is bolted in place the length of injector is fixed. Am I missing something? I have a 1985.

Little,
Contact Jon at http://www.fuelinjectorconnection.com/ and he will fix you up.
His Bosch III injectors work great in our 350's.

Email sent, thanks. I also think I may have answered my own question. And it relies on the seat to seat height.

I used two different sets of Accel injectors on my 85 over the years and did not have a problem with them seating into the intake and fuel rail correctly.

Thanks Gentlemen, I wasn't picking on the Accel just using it as an example I'm sure they are good injectors. The video was very helpful also.
