Ticking noise..........injectors?

The ticking noise I'm talking about is coming from the intake area. I believe it is the injectors. It is an obvious sound. Are my injectors stopping up? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If its a TBI its a good chance that its the injectors. It usually isn't too noticable though unless you've got the air cleaner and stuff off. My old injectors used to do it, but it didn't seem to affect anything, I ended up having to replace them anyways though
