If you are using stock injectors in a stock intake and fuel rail set, the clips aren't absolutely necessary. The injectors should not be able to drop far enough to disengage the upper 'O' rings. However, given the possible variation in machining and injectors, they are a good safety measure, and do aid in assembly.

You should be able to get them from any number of sources. The MSD P/N is 2110:

msd sells them for the lowest price that I found. Also, everyone told me that I didnt need those clips, and im using stock gm 30lb injectors. I tried to fire my car up and there were gas leaks everywhere. I'll use them in every car from now on. Dont need a gas leak lol.

I busted a bunch of mine when taking my old injectors out. I went to home depot and found some snap rings that were a close diameter and then filed some flats on the edges to match the shape of the origional clips. It ended up costing about 50 cents and a little filing time on the vice, but in the end it work our alright.

I broke mine too.... Didnt replace them and havent had any leaks, just make sure there isnt enough movement for the o rings to leak.
