HELP injector harness won't clip onto injector

[jarredsoon]

I have a champion intake and fuel rail with precision 120lb injectors. A new injector harness from racetronix and the harness won't clip onto the injector. There seems to be not enough clearance between the fuel rail and the injector, and the harness clip won't fit on. My old set up with Siemens injectors fit the harness just fine and had a lot more clearance from the rail.
See pics

This is my old injector, note the clearance between the rail and the injector.

What did I do wrong??
Please help I am losing my mind with this.

Thanks

Looks like you will have to use the skinny style injectors...That sucks .......

Hmm, looks like you will have to notch the rails for some clearance.

the race rails dont have the injector stop in the them like the rails for stock manifold which allows the injector to slide further up into the rail ,
if you had installed the injector clips they would stop sliding into the rail

you have to push the injector back down into the manifold
if you push the injector all the way down and still dont have enough room the rail could be raised with a couple washers under the rail mounting bars

My 120's fit ok.

It is close, but do not tighten the hold down bolts for the rail until everything is in position.

Thanks for all the replies, I solved this problem by pushing the injectors further into the intake manifold. This created space for the clips to clip on.
