Yep, your local True Value Hardware store. 
Long story made short: Bought used 30#/hr. SVO injectors off of a board member here that had 4,000+ miles on them and I wanted to replace the "O" rings before installing them to minimze the chance of having ANY fuel leaks. I went to my local Chevy dealer and they only sell a "seal kit" for the injectors and they wanted $18 + Tax for the "kit".
I then took one of the old "O" rings to True Value and the hardware guy matched it up, and I bought 18 of them, (i.e. with 2 "spares"), for $.19/each, that's $3.42 + Tax. 
Now I'm NOT positive but I think I remember that the size "O" ring you need is the No. 31(?) I found out that "O" rings come in numbered "standard sizes", and I'm pretty sure(?) the #31 size is what you want.
You're welome!

To each there own on hardware store stuff. Grover is ask'n all the correct questions about what tim allen is talking 
I'd rather use o-rings spec'd for injector/ fuel use.
All automotive injectors are the same size as far as o-ring size go's.
The chain parts stores have them in sets. MSD also has them on there website.
