Awhile back, I happened to stop at a Yard Sale while driving my Vair. The 
guy running the Yard sale said he had something I might be interested in. 
Seems he had worked several years earlier at the Tonawanda Motor plant and 
had a cache of Corvair parts. For a very nice price I picked up his entire 
supply which included a couple silver on black oil filters, NOS lifters, 
rings, seals, bearings, and plenty more including "original" asbestos 
exhaust donuts. Pretty much all motor items that would fit "out the door" 
inside a lunch pail.

Anyone doing a concours restoration and really wants total originality 
interested in a coffee can full of NOS GM push rod tube seals? I could make 
you such a deal................
