Help finding plastic clips Hi all,
I am most of the way through a 5.3 swap in my 1999 TA. I am reinstalling the fuel lines under the hood that connect to the fuel rails, fuel return/evap (not sure which), and I believe a port on the intake as well. I realized that I lost the little plastic clips for the return line and the intake. these are more like a plastic snap ring-- I do NOT need the connector that you have to use a 3/8" fuel tool on. This is a plastic clip that goes around the *outside* of the fuel hose once it is in place, and clicks on over the outside of the line. The clip is about the circumference and width of a nickel, except there is no material in the middle and the circle of plastic is separated so it can slide over a cylindrical-shaped line.
If you could help me figure out how to search for these I would be grateful.
Edit: I will post a picture of the female end of the fuel line when I get home if you can't figure out what I mean from describing the connector.
