"Fuel injector seal kits with 2 O rings and a pintle cap (Borg-Warner P/N 274081) are available at Pep Boys auto parts. Cost is about $2.74 per kit. The pintle caps fit either injectors with a pin sticking out the injector end or 4 with more tiny holes in the injector end. The following are listed at the Borg-Warner site ( http://www.borg-warner.com ) as being resellers of Borg-Warner parts:

http://www.partsplus.com/ or http://www.autovalue.com/ or http://www.pepboys.com/ or http://www.federatedautoparts.com/

Most of the links above have store locators for find a store in your area."

-That is a quote from Jrichker, just to make this more simple and a faster response for you. You can also buy the kits at O'Reillys if you have those in your area.

I soaked mine in a coffee can about half full of gas - not sure if that's the proper way or what, but that's what I did. By the way, those pintle caps (caps on the end) are REALLY HARD to get off w/o breaking, so i'd only replace those if they're broken already...you can replace rings w/o taking those caps off. Be sure and put some vaseline or something on the rings to keep them from cracking and breaking later on.
