YUP!  I finally broke down and pulled the upper intake manifold.  The injectors fit the rail perfect.  What I didn't like is the --->appearance<--- that the injectors do not go all the way down into the intake manifold.  You can just barely see the tops of the o-rings.   When you attempt to press them farther the fuel rail hooks and lower manifold runners prohibit you from pushing them down farther.  I am sure though that is the reason they made the injector ends longer son it goes down farther into the lower manifold.  I did put the injectors side by side and the bodies are the are the same length but the accel had a longer nose.  The accel injectors have a better pintle design with a blue plastic looking hat that IMO prevents leaking like the stocker gm unit.  I did not start the car yet though because my oil pump drive seal is leaking and I can't find the $@#!#@  o-ring I bought so I have to get another one today and then button it up tonight.  I took a couple of pics.  I did also notice i have a nic/tear in one of my spark plug wires <-----grrrrrrrrrr$W$#@!$#.  Its always some BS!!!

Make sure its the brown oring you are getting, not just another black one. THe brown one will last a lot longer. Don't know why they don't put this $3 part in originally.

The chevy dealer no longer sales any other o-ring but the brown one so maybe they wised up.  Its obviously a known problem because the guy didn't even ask for a make and model he just went and got one and gave it to me.  $2.00

here are some pics but for some reason they ended up kinda small, but you can see the yellow body of the injectors
