I'm looking for the fuel line hold down that holds the fuel lines into the fuel injector spider. From what I've read this is the same part for all three gm motors. If anyone has one let me know. I want to finish this damn suburban!

I have a whole top end off an iron block 6.0 truck motor, would that be the same? Do you have a pic of what part you need exactly?

I do but IAF is at its quota for uploading pictures. I know the three motors all have that same part but im not sure on a 6.0.

I'm thinking the same, Sunline just didn't care to deal with me, even though I buy through them for my business every so often. They told me they didn't have anything. I asked so you have NO GM 4.3's 5.0's or 5.7's and he just said, I said we didn't have anything. They just didn't care to look. I'll keep it in mind next time I need something.

I have said ti before, I will say t again and I tell EVERYONE I ever have a conversation with about salvage yards. DO NOT DEAL WITH SUNLINE!!! IMO, the represent everything that is wrong with "business" these days and they are just plain assholes. If sunline had something for $25 and K's had it for $40, I would buy it form K's every single time! That says a lot because I am one cheap MOFO!

not like that would EVER happen though. Sunline is always at least 3x-4x more expensive than K's. Just talked to him, he said "probably 5-10 bucks, I haven't seen it yet but I don't imagine it being more than that".

How in god's name did you break that? Forget to take off the second nut and bent it? I almost busted one doing my second fuel pressure regulator on that style...

I didn't break it, it was a truck I was working on for a customer. Removed the intake manifold and they decided not to fix the car. So they gave it to me and after a month I had the time to put it back together and from the parts sitting around a few things got lost.
