Re: Ford injectors

Ditto on 30lb injectors on my 406 TPI 86 vette.  These did not have grooves
cut for the retention clips.  When first installed I had to work with them
because when the fuel pump kicked on I had fuel everywhere.  Eventually got
them adjusted so I don't have fuel leaks but I've always been a little
concerned that I might be pulling some vacuum from the bottom injector seal
