HELP!! Can't find any "DR" rods
Been trying several different shops and on line web sites. Seems nobody carries this rod anymore. Can any of you guys hook me up with someone who sells "DR" metering rods ??? Thanks a Million !!!!

Yep, good 'ol GM still sells them from their parts counters (although they will have to order them special for you). Part number is 17053659. I beleive they are sold individually, so you will need to order 2 probably. Total cost should be around $25 for a pair.

GM might ask for the application tell them its for a 1983 chevy van with a LE9 305. Sometimes they won't sell you the rods because you are altering emissions specs. Mine came stock with a F hanger and DR rods.

If you can get to a pick-a-part junkyard they are everywhere in trucks and vans. I have been raiding Q-jets for primary metering rods and I saw 5 pairs of DR's my last trip out. Most of the time if all you have are a few rods, they won't even charge you for them.
