quick question: how to remove 1985 stock injector retaining clips
Title says it all-can't figure out how to get the darn retaining clips off. I don't even need them for the Bosch IIIs I'm putting on, but would rather not have to break them all off...

Use a flat blade screw driver to rotate the clips. There is a tab off one part of the clip that you apply force to, to rotate the clip.

Also, good video guide. I've done this before, but on a car that was already heavily modified, more so than I realized until I started to take apart a stock top end.

On my '89, most of those locks didn't want to turn. I had to inch them back and forth a few times before they'd turn the required 1/4 turn to come out.
