    I'll have to find out from Gerry D where it came from. He put one in the engine we cooked at B'ville. Send me an E-mail address to rpminis@comcast.net and I'll get back to you

    Resealing that Graphite dog **** is easy, Drive a short Length of coat hanger ground to a point up and over the top half of the seal housing to create a packing shim . Set up the bottem half as usual. Will last for ever.

    I have not had a problem of them sealing.............just all the time it takes to install and making sure that the ends don't get under the main cap.............you can't hardly cut that crap with a razor blade...........

    The new style seals come from both Bob's automobilia and Terrill Machine. Ask for the new type.
