Does anybody know where or how to get a set of those whitish absorbers that the '70 engine sported? There are six on each side. I am not sure even of what they are called.
thanks,
Bob

Oh, man, good luck with those sound dampers. As I recall, those were only fitted into the earliest heads, with the slightly thinner fins. If need be, I suppose you could turn some from round plastic rod, then jam them in there...
Try this link, i think I saw some NOS stock a while back

I could not even find a part number for those little boogers, but I did find some White Silicone Cord Extrusion at this site. I ordered 2 feet so I could cut a bunch of them. At first I screwed up and wound up with 100 feet of the 3mm. oops. The guy was gracious and hooked me up with what I actually was trying to order which was 2 feet of the 8mm which looks right to me. I have not cut them yet but I am sure they will be indistinguishable from the originals and indestructable. Here is a pic of what I ordered
