QUESTION: Thanks for the reply.  Do you know where I can find that part? (to order it or to get info on it)  Thanks.

Answer
I doubt very much you will be able to find a new original one, but there are many outfits that specialize in Chevrolet engine parts.  Summit Racing, Performance Automotive Warehouse, and even J.C.Whitney can probably help you with one.

There are also outfits that specialize in rebuilding  your old one - one in California is "The Damper Doctor" - they have a good reputation, but I  have not personally dealt with them.

Good Luck!
