Why not rebuild the one you have? The parts are inexpensive and available from NAPA. If it is an original, you could have it sleeved in stainless steel. Jerry

If the bore is not pitted, it is an easy rebuild. Kits are cheap too. I don't know how much the Lone Star original is, but shipping today is a killer.
