Thank so much for the info. I googled that and got that too actually. my luck as always, any parts store in my town won't have it,, not even lying. sure they have parts for my 74 vega, my VR4's and all the oddball stuff, but I promise they won't have any in stock, but thanks so much..when I tear this engine down in the months to follow.. I have permanent solution involving stainless... I don't deal well with bad design,, complete jackassery.
