VR Fuel Damper

[Mario K]

Does anyone have a Damper Fuel for a 304? Thanks

Or what can i use as a replacement?

I searched around for new factory ones a while back - with no joy. Not sure if there's any kind of generic replacement these days (again, didn't find anything in my searching).

Might be a case of hitting up a local wrecker and taking a punt (try to find a low km car)?

I've got a few spares if you need one in SA, can post it.

They don't make them anymore so they don't come up for sale often.

A tip if your looking for one, the Buick V6's ran the same ones, I'm sure theres probably way more of them in wrecking yards.

Thought they were different v6 to v8 fuel dampers?

Did know they're NLA but what about the curved fuel hose?

You can buy aftermarket ones from Raceworks or EFI solutions

I've grabbed plenty of them over the years from buicks when I've been at upullit after I knew they were end of life from bosch, part number is the same.

The curve in the hose is purely in the hose, the fittings are in the same locations on the dampers.

Fuel regulator was the same between the VN/VP/VR buicks and the 304 as well, I've interchanged them plenty of times too.

The fuel system was pretty much identical other than obviously the rails being different, the injectors were even the same flow rate.

I read this question as meaning - are the curved fuel hoses still available new? I'd like to know this too - have been browsing around, but haven't seen anything. Both the fuel damper to fuel rail hose, and fuel reg to firewall return pipe (VR 304).

I'm just using standard EFI fuel hose, and routing accordingly - but it'd be handy if you could still purchase the proper curved hoses.

Torana people think alike haha.

Correct as in funky curved shaped hose would be good to get as brand new replacements in correct shape..
