That was my whole point. The old stuff would rust no matter what you
did sometimes. Ask me about british steel sometime....

Hey, dumbass. Go back and re-read my post. I was disagreeing with the
view that the older stuff had better rust resistance.

My appologies, I missed your point.

< Ask me about british steel sometime.... <

HAH! I worked for a UK "automaker" ...if that's what you called it at the
time. Rumor had it if you stood necxt to one quietly you could hear the rust
mice chewing!

Maybe so, but I believe the replacement page:
http://www.raybuck.com/pages/replace/rep-spi.html shows a hole at '73 to
'77 that is replaced by the '73 to '95 which also replaces the '78 to
'86 that is still for sale. I remember seeing the inside saddle tanks on
something around '80 and thinking would I rather crash burn and die when
the driveshaft punched it?
