Rear Main Seals
I just discovered the rear main seal is leaking in my 76. I recall a thread here a few years ago that recommended a specific FelPro seal but after 45 minutes of searching thought it easier to ask.
Can't remember if it was RED or BLUE????
How much additional work for a one piece???
Thanks ALL!

Rear Main Seal
Just read an interesting article in the current Corvette Restorer by John Bissell regarding the two different rear main seals available for the SBC - Fel-Pro parts #2900 (silicone, blue) and #2912 (fluoroelastomer, red), wherein the author espouses the superiority of the red #2912. Basically the #2900 is old technology and the new #2912 does the job.
