Default Fuel injector o rings, where to get them?

I just went to the dealership and they want 140 bucks for a set of o rings for the fuel injectors on my trans am. I only need one, I think it fell off while i was working on my car. Is there anywhere I can get one ?

I've gone to napa, and a few smaller parts stores. Nobody seems to carry them. Anywhere I can get them online? I bought a generic o ring kit but I'd rather get the one for the car.

Got mine at advanced and another set at an autozone. All the part stores near me seem to have them.

Looks like they only make a few brands. Dorman And BWD Brands. I just got cheap ones no problems with them.

I didn't try auto zone, I'll do that tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

$140?! Now I gotta ask, are these maintenance items that need to be swapped out at some point?

Last year when I had a leaking o-ring on my 02 SS, I got the same price from the dealership. Needless to say, I didnt get them from there.

New Era Performance rebuilds and tests injectors here. $10 per injector will get them rebuilt (with new filters and o-rings) and flow test charts. Well worth every penny.

Picked them up from Auto Value, $8 for 16 of them.
I'll cancel my order with the stealership...

Yeah that's about what I paid, glad you found them. I wonder if the dealership was quoting you a set of injectors. There's no way they charge 140 for just o-rings...
