Mark,
They all had them. I'm sure if you look real hard you may see flatten
remnents of the old felt. Besides given a slightly different oil level
reading, it also serves as a seal.

not and has not had one of these since I bought it two years ago, I
quickly became concerned if a spacer is supposed to be there, I ve
been seeing false oil level readings. So I consulted the TRF catalog,
and discovered it is indeed pictured there. So now I have one my
question is, should I? That is, was it specified for all years, or is my
76 *not supposed to have one? Seems like a goofy question, but that 75
cent part makes about a > quart difference in the reading!
Thanks!
