I bought a timing hole plug a while back, it has the right part number (021 119 233 A), but it keeps getting blown out of the hole. I can ALMOST just put it right in without having to screw it at all. And the threads on both the plug and the fan shroud look fine. Is there a different part number for the plug on a 76 2.0L?

Hi Doc!
No, it is not reproduction, just a used one I picked up. It looks like a slightly abused brother to the one pictured in your catalog. |

Actually, now that I look closely at the one in your catalog and the one I have, they both have the same flat spot on the right finger grip as pictured in the AA catalog. So I don't know if it is an original, or if it is a used repro.

The one on mine is so freaking tight I need to use plyers to unscrew it.
