So Steve... Do you know anything about the optispark?  I'm looking for some
seals from it.

The Fox body is the best body in my opinion.  The 302 is generally bullet
proof with the exception of the oil pump shaft, but that can be easily and
cheaply fixed.  I had an 89'.  Sold it after smacking into an Explorer.  I
miss that car. : (
