Mine has developed a leak, due to warpage I think.. Is this something a typical local parts store might have or would this be likely only found at a Mopar specialist online? From what I understand, the big and small blocks used the same piece, but if anyone knows for sure, that would be great to know. Thanks !

After all, if it were not for the sponsors, then there is no Moparts. As for NAPA, I mean really, do you want to have to answer 25 questions before the idiot behind the counter realizes that one time they actually made a car called a Coronet, and that it was rear wheel drive with a V8??

Has anybody tried the 440 source aluminum housing? or a billet housing? Just curious. Yes I use the 440source aluminum one. Works great, no problems. It comes with a 'brushed'(non polished" finish that is either anodized clear or powdercoated clear---the finish is TOUGH! Tool me a long time to sand through it in order to polish it. And paint stripper didn't touch it.
