Larry, you do realize that the short block is not correct for a Corvette, right? It's a 3855961 casting whereas the correct Corvette 396 casting is 3855962. Not saying there's anything wrong with it, just not original.

I have a 210 ignition coil with a crack on the top. I've heard that it can be repaired or re-skinned or I'll take a good original.
