the 1st thing that popped into my mind are the caps on the injectors to protect them in shipping.... there are no "caps" on any injectors ive ever seen unless this is a wierd way to describe the clips holding them on the fuel rail.

I think he's talking about the pintle cap that is on the bottom of the injector, the one that slides off when you replace the lower O-ring. As far as where to get them, check with the your local auto supply store or the maker of the injectors. I haven't bought any myself, but I've heard that Carquest's O-ring kits may also include new caps, but I'm not sure. Have you tried taking the caps off of your stock injectors and seeing if they fit?

Yeah, couldn't remember if the stock LT1 injectors had them or not, it's been a while since I've had mine off. I know the stock ones on my truck has them, and if you were closer to me, I'd give them to you. What brand are your injectors?

I had to replace mine, when I bought a set of svo 30#. Got to Napa, they have them with new orings, and you can buy them without them. Just tell them yuou need a rebuild kit for a bosh style injector.
