ALFA OWNER has an ad for a guy selling a rebuilt for 142 US /exchange.They
also list a guy who will do yours w/ no guarentee on the tube for 115US. if
that's too much, you might need to dump the car-tho I'd think you were too
hasty-give the car a shot; a buick low-rider, sheesh!-- I don't know if you
appreciate that little mis-treated jewel.   $142-- Perf. Instrumentation,
Anacortes,WA no #, let your fingers do the walking---$115--Robin Hoeven,San
