Fify. Needs to have export-able armor package iirc, and I don't think the US keeps those in inventory.

I have random parts everywhere. Sitting at my desk I have my AIM Solo sitting to my left. My main drawer has a front main seal, header gaskets, FP/OP gaskets, forged clutch fork and pivot. Drawer to the right of the has my PA quick release splitter mounts and splitter rod clevis. Below that my OBDlink and XGPS160. Next to my desk is my long acre camber gauge and splitter rod material. I just went down stairs to check the thread pitch for the exhaust manifold studs on a long block I have sitting in the warehouse.

I'm hoping that it's not "years", I want the war to end as it is really screwing up my plans!! Being really selfish here..

Also thanks!

I really need one of those check the thread boards they have at hardware stores. If it screws in, you found the right one. If not, keep looking.

When you have random parts that have been kicking around with no purpose for 45 years we will talk.

I used something similar. Usually I just use my thread file to check the pitch.

Lol I literally started searching for some of those the minute after I posted. We have a bunch of stuff we need to order from Amazon so these are on the list.
