  5. I have plenty of them but I am in Texas. Maybe I could send them on grayhound bus or some other quick currier service.

    Too far and too late to help. I have been there before however.
    Heres a tip: remove the intake rocker arm and put it on the exhaust . Ground the plug wire to the head and drive er home.
    No intake rocker =no fuel and the exhaust will just turn into a air pump.....used to do that to farm equipment all the time until parts could be located ....
     
  8. Gmc bubba, thats some wisdom there.......

    I actually did what you said GMC BUBBA and was heading home when the car died out.. About 2 minutes later a gentleman pulled over and asked if he could be of any help.. He had a rocker arm to me in about 15 minutes.. . it purred like a kitten again.. Thanks everyone for the offers to help.. Another great year at the ROAD ROCKET RUMBLE<
