    Tom asked:

    Can someone tell me the difference between the two oil seals RTC3510 and
    RTC3511
    I know one is listed as from Oct 1980 vehicles and onward.
    Mainly, do they have the same ID and OD?
    Thanks

    I am not sure about the diff between these 2 #s, but RTC3510G is the older
    leather seal #, which, if your distance piece is a bit scored, does a better
    job of sealing than the rubber. The leather swells with oil and doesn't
    mind the scoring on the distance piece. A rubber seal is damaged in short
    order by the same scoring.
    Choices...either replace the scored distance piece and use a new rubber or
    leather seal, or just retain the scored distance piece and use a leather
    seal...I like and use the leather.
