I called several places and finally a place called Midnight Auto (a legit parts store) had one for $12. That damn flat head took both my sister and I to lift it out of the car and put it back without sliding it over the new gasket. Last I checked, the car was still running. My grandfather bought it from me for $300 when I went to boot camp, then his widow sold it to a banker just down the road for about $3000....
