Looking for some to use on 3/8 fuel line which is a good 5/8 od. I have checked with all the parts houses around here and nobody sells them.

You will need a specific pair of crimpers to crimp them properly.
It squeezes the sides and pushes the center in simultaneously.
If you just sqeeze the sides with knippers the clamp will “egg” and not clamp concentrically

I already have the tool. Used it for CV boot clamps before.

Please let us know when/where you find them.
 
I’ve bought them online.
It’s been awhile, but I probably found them on eBay
 
Those type clamps are used on PEX pipe. Home Depot or Lowe’s May have the size you need
 
Used on MANY MoPars when fuel injection started in the 80s...
 
Simply called crimp style hose clamps here.

I always thought they were called Corbin Clamps, but that is actually a generic family name for that shape of clip/clamp.

i bought mine from rich rehrenberg.
 
Smallest clamp in that kit is 1/2" and then on up to 1 1/4". Way too big for most mopar applications. Fuel lines are 5/16" and 3/8". So check kit contents before you purchase.
I have those clamps on my Kenworth cooling system. I had to replace a heater hose, that's why I purchased that set. I am sure that Amazon carries the smaller clamps as well.

Yes, they very well may. I just wanted to point out to others that the kit you linked was on the large size for mopar applications. It is a nice kit if it is the right size for your intended use.
 
My brother has a bunch of those in various sizes.
