Hi ... I need to change valve cover gaskets on my '81. Which gaskets are best? Stick with cork or I understand there are new rubber gaskets available. THANX!

Carb and manifold still available Thanx ... rilko

It's a Rochester QuadraJet 17081228 2081FOX THANX!

Anyone need an original carb and manifold for an '81? Carb will need to be rebuilt as it's been sitting around for awhile. Not sure what it's worth. Any reasonable offer will do. THANX! :)

I wanted to give a big THANX to Mr. Chuck for the great idea re: spreading the pads with wood shims prior to easing onto rotor. It worked like a charm!

I'm a newbie on the CAC and a new proud owner of an '81!!!! The car came with air pump and A/C system removed. I have ALL the parts, including brackets, in a box! I'm thinking about putting everything back to original. I'm having one heck of a time figuring out how the brackets were originally...
