            I think I’m going to pick one up as a spare to have on the shelf. Thanks!

              might want to leak check it before installing. 15 psi of air connected to one end, plug the other end with your finger and stick it in a bucket of water. I put a brand new Motorcraft brass core in my car years ago and it leaked from day 1. Before I changed it again, the replacement got leak checked because screw doing that a third time.

                I was thinking about checking it somehow, thanks for the tip!
