Jay and Mark,
A couple of observations. a) the stated part number doesn't appear in
any
of _my_ Sprite parts manuals b) a BL box is what... 68ish?. I doubt a
"rare" item would be still manufactured 10 years later.
Unless it fit say an America? or maybe a Marina! I could check my
microfiche if you really want to know which... but it's a PITA. But, I'd
hate to burst anyone's $81.00 bubble;-)
