    Auto Zone has them listed, but it looks like it will have to be ordered.
    Duralast brand (77 Mav.);

    Pump end, part #70710
    Control valve end, part # 80029

    Couple joints in Everett,

    6500 Evergreen Way (425) 710-7401
    1617 Broadway (425) 317-9751

    You could give 'em a call, just in case they have 'em in stock.

    Emergency stunts:

    A) Pick up some generic high pressure hose and splice it in with hose clamps.

    B) Take off the belt to disable the pump and muscle the wheel.

    Made a surprise visit to the Colby cruise. My wife & I just had to say goodbye to everyone before we leave this Friday. Was nice to see everyone. We did arrive a little late. So, we missed a few people. But, we are going to miss everyone deeply. Good luck everyone...

    I'm sorry I missed Coop, Hope all goes well with you my friend. My car just made the mini cruse and that was all I hoped it would do. It was good to see everyone. We met up later with Mike and his bride to watch Matt race he did an aw some job, and the rest of the show was great. hope we can talk Cliff to show us some of the pics he took at Jim Greens Thanks everyone, looking forward to next year. See if we can come up with another mini cruse.

    Don, thanks for setting up the meet at Jim Greens it was a good time, I saw him during the cruise and told him thank you. Watching the races was really great and what a terrific fireworks display. This was by far the best trip to Colby that I have had.

    It was great to say good bye to COOP and Cathy but alas we have to share them now with the rest of the Mav/Comet world, one of his last words to me was now he can go to the swap meet at Hershey, what a stab in the heart that was :)

    It is always great to see our Canadian friends as they make up half of the meet of Mavs and Comets, and as usual it was great to meet up with the locals as well Matt,Paul,Don,Bob,Mike and Mike

    Matt, please be sure to tell your mom and dad thank you for the hospitality and tell Will I am going to practice my croquet and next year he is going down and good luck with your racing as you have the talent to go far just got to stay out of 5th gear :p

    Thanks to those who set up the cruise to Jim Greens. That was special. I need to get down there sometime soon to get him the oil cans that I have. Thanks Matt for the oportunity to do a little fishing... Sorry about all of the smoke. After I got home I took some timing out and it is running better and haven't had any more power steering problems. I have a feeling this will be a summer of tuning and tweeking. I hope your trip is a good and safe one Coop. Congrats to Mike and Cliff on their awards. Good job.:tiphat:
