Or find a parts store that has a good stash of old parts books. Nowadays, if it isn't in the computer, it never existed. Just for fun you can also ask for part for a Datsun. Many folks don't recall it was the early version of Nissan. Not that I drive either.

About 13 years ago I went to an All-Mopar Performance swap meet.
The only thing I saw there the vintage I was looking for were a
few First Gen Hemi sparkplug tubes. Just for snits an grins I bought
one and once home I polished it up a lot. It Looked Mighty 'Oh Look,
Shiney stuff' and hung it from the rear view mirror of my Hodge Podge
Dodge 'FrankinTruck'.
One day on a lark while out looking for parts for wifypoo's car I
grabbed the dangling sparkytube and took it in with me. I asked the
idling parts folks bunched up behind the counter for a gasket for this!
Only One of them knew what it was, and Jups!, it were a gray hair
adorned older gent.
