Jerry - it would work fairly well (better than a Rochester

); but that is the older style Zenith, and parts are pretty much only available from that grouchy old hillbilly in Missouri. Originally a GMC 230.
Dusty - the 2135998 definately corresponds to the 9778, which would be for a GMC 270.
As far as the W-1 leaking at the copper plugs. If the drive plugs, put a drift punch on the plug, and hit it with a hammer. If the threaded plugs with a screw slot, remove the copper "gasket" from beneath the plug, apply 1/2 drop of BLUE Loctite to the thread. Screw in the plug, and allow to cure for 24 hours before placing in gasoline. DO NOT USE RED LOCTITE FOR THIS APPLICATION!!!
