Hello listers!

I'm hoping that someone out there can help with my current Spit restoration
dilemma.  At the advice of several people, I arranged to have my favorite
machine shop enlarge the center main oil gallery while doing other work on
the block.  This requires that the bushing for the distributor / oil pump be
pressed out, which they did...in two pieces.

So....does anyone know where I can get one of these for a reasonable price?
It seems that Spitbits or Rimmer's can get them, but for around 50 bucks.
Doesn't that seem a little pricey?  No one seems to have an extra just lying
around!!

Otherwise, the project is progressing nicely.  I haven't attempted to remove
a part yet that resisted too badly.  I have some help coming over in a
couple of weekends to help lift the body off of the frame.  I suspect that
some of the suspension part may be more reluctant to come apart.

TIA!!
