Do I just need to get a 2x4 and a hammer, and tap it back on, or what do you think I might be up against? Mid 70'S 440 .Thanks. scott

Aftermarket ones often need to be honed to fit, so don't force it. You can also warm it up in an oven enough to get it on... although not preferred, it shouldn't hurt it as long as you don't get the thing REALLY hot. Darrah Heath

Use threaded rod and a nut with washers. Travis.. 70 GTX project, orig 440-4, 4 spd, track pack, FC7, stripper/street racer special.
