CCC Q-Jet IAB O-Rings

Anyone know where I can get some O-rings for an IAB valve? The rebuild kit I used didn't come with new ones. I'd rather not buy a whole new kit, but if anyone knows for sure that a certain brand comes with them I'd like to know. Thanks.

Mine didn't look like o-rings, but lip seals.

Hearing they weren't in the rebuild kit isn't good news. Mine are a little torn up, and I was counting on the rebuild kit that I'll be getting soon before the emissions test is due would have those little babies in it.

It was a Walker kit, nothing was labeled and it had some small o-rings that fit around but it seemed like they were too thick. There were some little seals that looked similar to the original IAB valve seals, but they were exactly similar to the seals at the accelerator pump and somewhere else i forget and I replaced those first. I suppose there just weren't enough of them.

I would take your original o-ring to NAPA or some other good auto parts store and see if they have a replacement. I've had good success in the past doing this with other o-rings.

You could also give this place a call. http://www.carbs.net/quadrajet.asp

I wish I could but I forgot to pull the IAB valve out of the air horn before I dipped it in carb cleaner so there wasn't much left of them.
