Default Valve Cover Grommets
Can anyone tell me where the best place to find valve cover grommets for an 89 Corvette. Looked at Ecklers, Mid America, ect and didn't have any luck.
Thanks

I got mine at the dealer for my 89. Also a new PCV valve as well.

If I recall correctly, I think the grommet for the PCV valve is different than the grommet on the passenger side for the air tube from the throttle body.

NAPA has a book with a lot of different grommets. They may have them in stock or may be able to order them. I found ones for my aftermarket covers at CarQuest.

I got mine from Corvette Central. I believe Motormite (the Help kits) makes them as well and you can probably find them at your local parts store.
