    I have not been able to locate the proper valve cover rubber plug and PCV grommet for the valve covers on my 65 GS. Anyone know where I might find them?
    thanks

    As far as "current" availability, I read a loooooong time ago in an old GSCA newsletter that a Dodge truck 360ci used the same grommet. :Do No:

    I would almost have to imagine that GM used these grommets on other A-Bodies of the time. Maybe even Jeeps that used the 360.

    a couple of suggestions

    Classic Buicks in California (classicbuicks.com) I am almost certain that they have the PCV grommet. I am not sure about the other one.

    Cars, Inc. (908) 369-3666

    Year One? I think that's where I ordered mine but I don't remember. If it wasn't Year One it might have been CARS, Inc (see above)

    Good luck

    Too Small from CARS

    The one I ordered from CARS, Inc. was too small. I have the engine on a stand, still, so I haven't worried too much about it. I will wait until I get the engine dropped in, then I take the original to the nearby Carquest and match it up. I haven't tried anything from Classic Buick or Year One.

    Try the Help section at Autozone. I found one there a couple of years ago for mine that was almost identical looking to the original and it fit the perfect.
