ford 30 injectors question

i have a question for you guys using motorsport 30 injectors. this week i tried to install them and on my 95 lt1 the injectors have a solid round cut out space that the clip slides into on the rail clipes in and the injectors fit deep in the fuel rail these ford 30 injectors have a half groove where they are supposed to be mounted, but a little higher there is a solid circle like my stock ones but if i use that one it pushes the injectors real close to the outer edge, meaning the o-ring. wondering if there is a clip i need to modify or did you all use them with the top grove leaving the o-ring close to the edge. just afraid of fuel leaks. any info woud be appreciated
thanks in advance

I did not use any of the stock style fuel rail clips on my SVO 30#'ers - they will not fit. Once you tighten the fuel rail down they aren't going anywhere.

Ditch the clips.

2 motors - 6 different sets of injectors - no leaks

I'm running the 30# Ford Injectors on my TPI system. The clips worked just fine.

I have had two sets of SVO 30s and one set had the grooves for the clips and the other didn't. I am not running clips now and I am not leaking.

X2! I didn't have any trouble with the clips either on the Ford 30#'s.
