Default Dangit!!! need a fuel injector clip...

Does anyone know where to buy the little clip for the fuel injector on my 88'? I broke one, and it doesn't seem like anybody wants to sell me a new one... I just got a blank stare over the counter.

Where do you find these? Does anyone have one they could just mail to me??? Willing to pay, just tell me how much. I need it by the weekend. What a pain in the butt.
:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Go to any junk yard. The clips are the same on V/6 camaro also. There are a lot of them in the yards.

Thanks!

Maybe asking for the part by the number will make them more willing to help. Maybe I should just call Jeff Kopp at Superior. I thought of the junk yard route, but it could take a lot of work to get one little clip.

:rolleyes:

Are you talking about the little silver clip that holds it in the rail? If so you don't really need those.just postion the injector correctly . They can't fall out with the rail bolted down.

I thought of that, but I'm using Accel #24 injectors and they are actually shorter than the stock units so I would be able to move them up and down a little bit, maybe even low enought to leak on the top.

I used a stiff copper wire and wrapped it around. Been working just fine for over a year.

Yeah, I guess that would work. It might look kind of kool if you used Stainless wire and did them all the same, twisting them up real nice or something... Only thing is I'd have to dissassemble the rest of them to do it to match. Just one might look a little rigged up.

Hmmm. I have the LT1 covers, so you really can't see it. I see your concern.In your case, perhaps just a temporary solution.
