Doing injectors now...quick help!
I'm putting in my Ford 24's. All is well so far, but stock clip does not fit new injectors. Need different clips? Use no clip?

I installed them without clips. Seems ok. If anyone says I should get some clips, I will. They really can't go anywhere when the fuel rail is securely installed. I ran the car, and all seems well. Weather will allow a test ride tomorrow. I installed these simply for the security of knowing they can handle the pressures with my nitrous. Will there be any performance gain with regular driving?

My clips fit fine when I installed the 24's. There should be two grooves for the rings. I think it is the top one you are supposed to use. I used my stock clips on the 30's too.

I personally would not put them in without using clips, but make your own choice.

So long as the top O-ring can seal in the rail the clips should be OK.
But now if all injectors are seated to the same depth and no leaks you should be OK w/o clips.

Re: Doing injectors now...quick help! (65Z01)
Thanks guys. Just put the clips on. It's amazing how quickly you can swap the injectors in these things! I also noticed a performance difference on my test ride yesterday. Will the computer soon compensate and go back to "normal"? Seems as though low end became a bit "sluggish", but after 2500 rpm...WOW. Is this just me because of the long winter without driving it, or is there really a difference?

A lot of it is probably due to not driving it over the winter. You may see a slight difference if your old injectors were bad though. :cheers:
