[Tigers] Engine gaskets

[Thomas Witt]

Ron,
  Thanks, I didn't use capitalization (mc cord -vs- McCord) and only got 
33,000 that were limited in value.  I guess I am getting lazy from texting 
my kids.

The 7th hit down appears to be an endorsement for McCord quality.  Nice set 
I got. While complete, it also included three sets of intake gaskets and 
more waterpump gaskets than I ever hope to need (about 5).

Strange, I went to the Mopar Spring Fling in Van Nuys, CA and I got a 
complete gasket set ($5) and a new oil pump shaft ($1) for a SB Ford.  I 
Guess the Rootes/Chrysler connection was on my side. Also of interest, - 
Leno was there with the Chrysler Turbine car.

Thanks, Tom
