Question installing Ford injectors
I am in the process of installing my TPIS intake and AS&M semi-siamised runners and decided it was a good time to replace injectors at the same time.
I bought a set of flow matched 24# Ford injectors and noticed they are shorter than the factory '87 injectors.
Will this affect anything?
Will they work ok as is or do I need to do anything to them to use them for my application?
Do I use the retainer clips off the stock ones or install them without clips?
What pressure do you normally run the Ford injectors at?
Thanks for the help.

The accel injectors I installed were a smidge shorter than the stock ones. It didn't matter at all. They weren't quite as snug in the fuel rail as the old ones (i can still move them around a bit and sort of 'rotate' them even when they're installed) but it didn't matter. Not leaks, etc. If the clips fit, absolutely use them.
As far as FP I guess you could back it off a couple of psi although I gather the proper method of doing things is to have a new prom burned that adjusts injector pulse width, etc.

The injectors were flow tested and matched at 43.5 psi by Ron at
Cruzin Performance before I got them and they were still sealed in the bags with the flow rates.
They flow from 24 lbs to a high of 25 lbs per hour at 43.5 psi.
Thanks for the replys and help.
I will be getting a custom chip by ski_down_it in the very near future as soon as I finish getting all the parts together.
Thanks again and Merry Christmas
