they will drop in with your rails, but, I noticed that the spacer above the bottom o ring is missing.. it should be there.. this will keep the injector to low in the manifold. It should look like this

also they should be checked and serviced before you use them. Those early design accels are very problematic, with a very short shelf life.

Thanks for the reply

I traded a set of caddy racing lifters for these and a slp lid a while back so I got them cheap.

In your opinion what should I do?
Are they worth using? I dont want to blow my new motor up because I ran lean

With a good cleaning and matching how long do you think they would last?

I could sell these make some money on them and send my stockers in, but
I am in spain for a few more weeks and when I get home I want to put my car together and drive it. ( I have a 3 week window to install the motor trans, get it tuned and drive it before I leave for work for 2 months)
