As the weather has once again turned nasty/slushy and cold here in Maine I am
having a hard time stopping myself from grinding my teeth while reading your
letter! That's it, I'm moving outta this inhospitable state! Anyway, I did
try RAPCO, but they didn't have valves, (or was it springs?) I think I am
going to replace the entire head with a NOS one, as I have the classic broken
exaust manifold bolt problem anyway. Thanks for your responce though! (even
if you do have nice weather, grrr) Geoff

P.S. Hey, your friend has the same year MUTT as I do, what condition is it
in?
