it was a 1.6 ss exhaust valve.

couldn't find ANYBODY.

Went to national machine in wyandotte on fort street. Took the bent valve in, told him what I needed. He didn't have anything new in stock, but he had a ton of others. He found one, stock length, 1.6, ss.... Blasted it, machined it, $10 bucks. Good as new. Car is running again.
