I completed some good PM on the SD this morning.

1) cleaned tank strainer and fuel level sender
2) replaced all rubber fuel hoses and clamps
3) new fuel filters (2)
4) 5 new GPs and holes reamed
5) new block heater cord
6) oil change
7) valve cover gasket

I was going to tackle the oil pan gasket and turbo drain seals/checkvalve but hey....its the playoffs!

I was able to loose the clip on the throttle linkage where the main shaft comes from the firewall out to the assembly on top of the valve cover. It is that small circular clip that you push in, then down to seat it.

What is it called, and what can I use from maybe a local hardware store till i can get the proper part in the mail? Thank you in advance.
