Looking for the right grommets that will fit in the holders connected to each valve cover. I found these on OPGI but they just look like the typical ones the autoparts stores carry. Is there really a difference? Is it worth paying OPGI's ridiculous prices (plus shipping it ends up being a lot) for them? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

If you're referring to the 1956 you're working on, Steele and Rubber the Right Way both offer them for $7.10 as opposed to the $9.99 OPGI wants for the same thing.  I haven't seen the parts store ones, but I know the Steele and RTRW ones fit correctly.

Fusick Buick and Cad parts sell them also.

They have lots of Cadillac goodies.

Yes I am looking for the correct type wire grommets that will fit my 1956 Caddy 365 and attach correctly through the brackets that come off the valve covers

Ben,

As others stated the ones for the Cadillac are about $7-$8 each and they are a bit larger and wider than other GM models which range on prices from $2-$3 each.  >:(

Just as FYI the Cadillac one are 5/8” W x 2 5/8” L while the other GM models are 9/16 W x 1 ¾” L.  ::)
