hey guys! i am in the process of putting my 91 pickup back together after replacing the head gasket. but now i am stuck because i need to find some injector seals... i know that they use an o-ring, and a plastic piece that just slides onto the tip of the injector. is there anywhere i can get the plastic insulator piece? i have been trying to find them and so far i have failed if somebody could help it would be greatly apprectiated! Thanks guys!

 

Where are you located?

I was able to find them at my local auto parts store. There are actually 3 "seals" there. The rubber O-ring, the insulator between the rail and the injector, and the rubber seal between the intake and the injector.

 

just thought I'd contribute; everyone likes pics



left is an old one, right is a rebuilt one (rebuilt by me)

and those seals pointed out:

it's kinda hard to see the one that insulator one...



I got the seals in complete kits, one for each injector, from the local auto parts store for about $4 each

 

just thought I'd contribute a little- napa and their affiliates, at least around here, carry the top end seals for the injector, but the bottom end next to the nozzle is a no show.

I've had good luck though, coating the inside and outside of the nozzle end's seal with Hylomar. (yes, that name again.)

 

ok thanks guys! i live in athens, Ga. What parts stores did you guys get your seals from?

 

I was also unable to locate the bottom seals at a Napa too

 

How much were the seals at NAPA? I just went to the dealer and bought them. They were about $8 for an entire set.

 

about $16 total

 

I got Beck-Arnley brand ( I think that's how it's spelled ) from Advance Auto Parts; came with all three seals in each kit for each injector

 

ok cool! i am gonna swing buy advance tomorrow and pick them up. I hope they have them in stock because thats the last thing i need to finish putting my truck back together. Thanks again for all the help!

 

when I got mine, they had two kits in stock, and they had to order the other 2 kits but they were there the nest day, and I was getting them ahead of time, so I didn't loose any time with it

call the store first and make sure; if they don't have 4 kits, ask them if they've got some at another store they could transfer in from, and they'll be there tomorrow. if they don't have enough kits, you'll have to go visit the store to order them though, and most of the time they can still get them next day... stupid order process that Advance has, not allowed to order over the phone... well, not suppose to anyways... I've done it a few times in the 2 1/2 years I use to work there

 

yep got mine from napa autoparts but they had to order them, works great now im not smelling gas through the air vents.

 

haha, well that's always a plus

 

What are the lower seals called? When I call and ask about them I can hear the person on the other end scratching there head! They try to insist I need the upper oring (which I already have!) I got a set from oreillys part number 274712 bwd brand but they didn't come with the lower one which is the one I need.

thanks

*Edit: Nevermind figured it out. Insolator
