on a 85-88 v6 the fuel rail has a block that the fuel lines bolt into, and there are three hex head bolts that hold it to the fuel rail, under that block is a metal seal, with two rubber o-rings, ive got 5-6 fuel rails and they ALL have bad o-rings, so im trying to find a replacement for this seal, i looked at fierostore.com and didnt see anything, and i also looked at www.partsamerica.com and didnt see anything there either.

the same part was used on the 2.8-3.4L camaros/firebirds i believe

Here is info from my personal records. I make no guarantees. I see that gmpartsdirect.com has both items in packs of 10 for less than a dollar.

Paul McKibben
Norcross, GA

O-ring, fuel line inlet to fuel rail, GM # 22516256 $0.67 (8/15/03)
O-ring, fuel line return from fuel rail, GM # 22514722 $0.94 (8/15/03)

Advance has a "help" brand section that has a box of fuel O rings that includes various sizes. I have used them several times without any leaks. There is nothing special about them except they need to be rated for fuel.

i really need to post a picture of what it is im talking about cause its NOT the fuel line o-rings, its a METAL SPACER that fits between the fuel line block, and the actual fuel rail, there is three hex head bolts that holds this block TO the fuel rail, there is a thin 1-2 MM space between them that has two o-rings built into it, they are not replaceable by themselves, which is why i posted this message, i guess i need to try to take some photo's right now and show you guys what im talking about.





hopefully these pictures will let you guys know what im talking about, the o-rings are made INTO the metal part.

I had to get that same part replaced before. I went to a shop that specialized in fuel injection parts and found what I was looking for.

Hello...
I am having the same problem with my fuel rail spacer.... I was just wondering if you ever found out the part # ??

Dealer

bump. No parts store knows wtf it is. Gm discontinued the part in 97'

If someone could get a part number..... I have not found one yet.

I had only previously been bale to find it as part of the fuel rail assembly, but now I can't even find that.

From the Pontiac 22P Parts Catalog, the Fuel Block Seal is included in the Fuel Inlet/ Outlet Block Kit.
p/n 17110853, this may give a dealer starting point to find the p/n for an individual seal.
