I see autozone has some from GP Sorensen NAPA has some from Echlin .

I think last time I got them from Bus Depot seemed good . I just don't want junk It's difficult to tell by price. I need them so I can check the injectors to see if any drip of have a bad spray pattern .

Of the stock seals.....only the Echlin brand from NAPA are worthwhile. I dont use stock seals anyway. The design and fit sucks.

I use CIS injector seals on the tips...far.... far....far.....better. one you try them you will never go back. Ray

Does anyone have a recommend brand or part# for CIS seals? I Assume just put that seal on the injector tip, that's all to seal between it and the manifold?

Yes, that is the only seal. The larger rubber ring on the injector is just for fit and protection from vibration.
