Anyone know where I can get some of these? Or perhaps a part number?

TIA

Thanks for the help. I see a lot of the push-type pins online, but I don't think anyone has the threaded ones that go on the engine cover except the dealer. Shame.

Hey joegr thanks for the part number. Unfortunately $12.77 to ship two clips via ground is just absurd. I'll call my dealer with the part number.

What are you looking for then? The retainers for the gen II V8 cover? If so, those are the ones. They are made to look like big screw heads, but they really just push down over the studs sticking up.

Thanks, Joe.

The earlier links were for different connectors, the ones you just show are correct.

Yep, they can be pushed on. But doing so after a while they loose their internal threading.

The part number didn't change. I only posted a new link because the old one was no longer valid. I was also able to give the complete part number now.
Are you talking about the links in post #4? I haven't checked those.

Try advanced auto or lowes that's where i got mine for gen 1

I got tired of the pop in style ones popping out, they don't need to be threaded, they just pop into a hole in a metal bracket. I bought a whole set of the locking style ones with the center pin and replaced all of the screw in style ones on all my plastics. No more lost pop clips.
