I think there's some confusion here... the link below is to a gas tank
reseal kit- it doesn't have a grommet for the fuel line through the
firewall, which is not a stock item but something that some of us not named
Scott have been using.
I used the Dorman 'Help!' piece, part # 42055 (for 'various GM models
1983-76') that I found at Autozone. I have no idea if the online vendors
have something suitable or not.

Cya,
Robert

Should have been more specific.  I can't find it alone. I've already
purchased a kit for this and will see about returning the un-needed
firewall piece and using a grommet instead.
