I have a leaky valve cover gasket. Can I come over for the weekend?

I used to be a huge WWII fighter plane fan. The P51 was a bad azz plane in it's day and I just loved the configuration of it. And I have a brother in law that actually was a Navy pilot on an aircraft carrier. He said he got to fly a P51 one time and loved it. He was in the Navy during the Korean war, not WWII.

G-D GMPartsGiant.com. Ordered my $1.11 fitting on Friday along with the $9.99 S&H. Today I get an email from then telling me that the part now costs $14.63 and still with $9.99 S&H because they have to get the part from a vintage source. Luckily I know where they are getting part from. A place called Vintage Parts out of Beaver Dam, WI. I would have ordered the part originally from Vintage Parts but they wanted $6.02 with $12.04 for S&H. So now that GMPartsGiant is over $23 for this little part and Vintage Pars is about $18, I guess I'll cancel my first order and submit a new order with Vintage Parts. Another 2 days lost. Everything is back together including oil in the pan and antifreeze in the coolant system less this fitting. GRRRRRRRRR If I don't find an engine to work on soon, my wife is going to find "stuff" for me to do. Aggghhhhhh!

Whenever I order obscure stuff like that, I always call to verify inventory. When you have a 95 SC2, it's amazing how many discontinued parts you can find listed for sale.
At least the rockautos of the world give a crap
