They're hard to come by. It was only used on the 67-68 Chevelle and the 68 Camaro and I don't think they're being repopped as of yet.

You might want to place a "WTB" (wanted to buy) listing in the forum classifieds.

IF you're not running your original smog pump, you can get away with the two groove. RICK'S (http://www.rickscamaros.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=WP%2D642&dept%5Fid=3231) sells a repop.
