I would just get one from a junkyard. Unless you want to use this as a reason to upgrade. I know i would.

I would go as far as putting on 2.02 Iron Ram Heads if one gasket blew!!! All I need is an inch, and i can fool the wife into thinking I NEED a part.

Best example:
1. Fire in my engine bay on my 1996:
Got a fastman TB and 24# injectors. Spent 600 right there when junkyard parts would have cost about 200.

Oh.

you can check:
www.car-part.com

It is basically a national listing of Salvage yards and their inventory. You can enter your zip and search by distance. I did a search, and I found these:

http://www.car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi

yeah, its arkansas. But you can do a search. If you do not want to pickup, they can probably mail it. Just see if there are any hits. Then call to ask if it is digital.

Most of the interiors are in good condition if the window glass is still intact (proection from the elements).

Most of our 2ndgens are in very good condition because they are junked when the tranny goes.
