Drop me a PM for some suggestions on how to do that without finding one of the 235/261 2-groove dampers that are as scarce as honest politicians! If you're doing a complete rebuild on the 261, think about making a road trip to middle Tennessee to get the block machined for a full circle rear oil seal. If the 216 will be looking for a new home eventually, I'm interested. Jerry
