Default Can't use stock clips to hold down 42lb injectors

We were trying to use the clips that hold down the stock injectors on the 42 lb injectors but they don't fit due to the groove not going all the way around the injector.

Can you use the injectors without the clips?

Yes, I've been running with no clips since 2005. The bolted down fuel rail has no problems keeping them where they are supposed to be.

You will be fine without them,Unless you forget to bolt down the rails... very common.

All the clips are there for is to keep the injectors in the rail when removing it from the manifold.

New Racetronix fuel harness. I posted it in other thread.

Plus I'm hoping that the woodruff key that I ordered is the right one otherwise it's another delay. It seems that the 93 vettes have a key for the crank so that's what I went with.

Weird. The o-rings don't seem to seat properly on the passenger side. I can see them where on the driver side I don't.

Thoughts?
