OK Fellas put on your thinking caps. I looking for the black rail that covers the injector wires on a 1985. I've tried all the majors sellers of Vette parts.on line, I've tried Ebay, craigslist and Facebook's Market place as well as 8 junk yards that specialize in vette parts and nothing. I've been looking for the cover for the past 6 months. I'm looking for the drivers side, any help is appreciated...

fairly sure those wiring covers are a one year only part. they will be hard to find even though 1985 was a high production year, and they may be a bit pricey - I seem to recall, the last set I saw on fleabay went north of $100. I have a fair amount of one-off 85 parts, but that is one item I don't have. stay on course with your search - eventually, they will pop up. suggestion "save a search" on fleabay and set up email notification with your local "pick-a-part" wrecking yard. you will get email notification anytime, if and when they get an 85 corvette. place a WTB ad in the parts for sale C4 section. also, try these folks - https://www.corvettepartsworldwide.c...ory_s/1240.htm , and contact fleabay seller "redneck43" - he's always parting out early C4's. he's one of my main sources for 85 only parts. finally, don't limit your search to corvette - not sure, but they may also be used on camaro and firebird tune ports - ??? . good luck....
