I feel like this should be an easy thing to find but dang if I can't get a local parts place to source this part for me.



Is there a web resource I can go to to order just the air cleaner stud for my TBI unit? It's become stripped from all the times I've tightened the air cleaner off and on the top of the motor.

Don't hate me for the silly question!

 

TBI doesn't use a normal carburetor air cleaner stud?

 

Mine is not straight. Makes two 90* turns before heading out the top of the air cleaner.

 

Ah, ok. Try a junkyard or a dealer.

 

I had the same one in my '89 G30 cube van.
Might have to go junkyard hunting for a TBI van application.

 

some have done the "all thread" from a home inprovemnet store. it's just a threded rod then you put it in a vise and bend it the way you want it to go. becareful of the top and bittom threads though.

 

There's gotta be a good source for this part on the web!

 

I found one on Jeg's
http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...0002_370365_-1

If the link doesn't work just search "TBI stud"
It's only $4!

 

i had the same problem . tried allthread , it works i was not happy . then took a 1/4 steel rod , bent to shape , threaded both ends . now i'm happy . 1/4x 20 threads .

 

12 dollar handling charge! Bah!

For Pete's sake. Thanks for the clue though.

I'm wondering about rethreading the stud... that's possible, no?
