Default part ID help
I'm looking at the left side of the motor. Just above the Valve cover is a long plastic type of sheild. It appears to hold some plastic retainers for the injectors. Can anyone tell me what this is called. Mine are starting to fall appart from years and heat. Like to replace them If I can. Thanks for any help.
Chuck

You do know the C4 had the L83, L98, LT1 and LT5 engines over it's run, right?

Would be a great help if you narrowed it down a bit.

Assume you are talking about the black plastic channel that covers the injector wires beside the rocker covers on a L98???
Has two retainers that bolt to the intake ?
Doubt you will find them anywhere except junkyard

This?? If so I'd agree with Rodj. I'd buy wire loom covers and fab up something.

Right rear is where the real problem is. I'm wondering what the name of the part is? GM must have something from other GM 350 ci motors.

If your talking about the black box with vacuum lines and electrical lines, that's the EGR solenoid.

Not that; just to the right you can see the break in the black plastic cover. It covers the injector??? It's all part of the long black plastic rail that covers all the injectors. It's held on with two screws on the top of the valve cover.

Ahh, I see now. My 86 doesn't have those injector shrouds. It was just a long plastic channel with a couple of clips that bolt to 2 studs.
