Need to get the base of Accel 48# fuel Injectors threaded, so they can be used in my manifolds that have threaded inserts. Anyone know who threads Accel fuel injectors?

Curious to what you're working with. I have never seen threaded efi injectors. CFI ( old school fuel injection) used threaded adapter for nozzles.
i would contact Accel.

With your username is it safe to suggest that these injectors are not going to be used on a 4th Gen Corvette engine (LT1/LT4 or L98 engine)???

It might be a lot easier to make up a set of adapters the screw into whatever you want to thread the injectors into - and then have a bore to accept the Injector "nose O"-Ring Seals. You would still need to put a bit of downward pressure on the injectors (I might suggest wire tied around something fixed or around something on what the injectors will be attached to and then tied around the Injector electrical connection.)

Betting your intake has threaded ports for nitrous, not fuel injectors.

….. I actually found some threaded injectors on Ebay … Fast Forward was the brand … mostly used for auxiliary fuel for 2nd set or boosted apps … the ones l saw were in the 1000cc range … Good Luck ! …..
