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!

Are these o-rings comparable material wise, or will they disintegrate due to the heat of the engine/gasoline?

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.
