I'd love to, but I have to wait until AOL finally provides WWW support.

I saw that and thought about it, but I had already screwed with the
slave cylinder (replaced it) and had no desire to look at it again! <g>

Thanks *very* much for the warning!

It is. Curioser and curioser...

I certainly hope so. Ask me again in six months! <g>

I am very good friends (already) with the people at TRF (friendly,
knowledgable, slightly high prices). And Moss Motors (not as friendly
as TRF, but prices are better). And one other place whose name escapes
me (no frills, but they had the master cylinder rebuild kit I needed).
The previous owner of the car made a point of giving me his TRF
catalogs as I bought the car. :)
