Fuel rail c-clips
Anyone know the GM part number for those? I dont use them ( as I lost mine ). I suspect a air leak at the base of 2 of my injectors. And I suspect the reason is lack of those c-clips.
Thanks

People run without the retaining clips. If there was an air leak there would be a puddle/spray of fuel. The fuel rail bolts down holding the injectors in. Can you move them far up and down? If there was a leak I would suspect the o-ring on the injector before the clip. There was a recent thread and someone mentioned The Last Detail store had the clips.

The clips missing shouldn't cause a vaccum leak, but if you all you need is a couple let me know.
I bought some from work recently and they only came in packs of 5, I needed 8 so I ended up with 10 = I've got 2 extra. They're yours if you want them.

I tried to install the injectors without the clips and never could get them to seat in the rail and manifold. No matter how much force was used.
I see them on Ebay pretty regularly. Type in "corvette tpi".

hello
its not a fuel leak from the rails. I think its a vacume leak from the intakeside. My guess is that the injector is not pushed far enough in to the intake.
Thanks for the info m8s.

If you are using a converted LT1 manifold the part number for the clips is #17112633. they come in a set of eight.
