BTW wacky: Did that rotor look good to you? Get everything together ? I still have 1 more rear rotor for a 84-85 12A
I actually am putting it back together thursday and putting it in.

After I got the rotor, I got called by work and was swamped with overtime...which is good since I was on a thread-thin budget. Too tired to even touch it after work and other things came up!!! That was a while ago aready.

I did clean it good the day I got it with carb spray, and let it sit in paint thinner for several hours. There was some serious caking of solidified oil/dirt/carbon deposits though in weird places, but everything went together well: side seals/springs, oil control rings/o-rings/springs, corner seals, springs. I also made sure the apex seals grooves would allow free seal movement in and out. So it looks to be a good to go. Thanks

Ummm I hate to tell you Mike, but "one hundred dollar bills" implies to me that you want one hundred (100) dollar bills ($1) would only be $100, and if thats the price I have dibs on it . If you meant one hundred (100) hundred dollar bills ($100). Then that would be $10,000. If thats the price, no thanks .
