No, I wish it was. Its the double oval one.
The guys on partscontainer.com REALLY got me in a BIG jam now.
I looked up all the elements and ordered all of them. My dash is off. Again.
All the other parts are being shipped and can't be returned.
Even George Murphy www.perfanalysis.com can't help on that one

Gotcha, I was nearly in the same boat. You might want to check this guy out:

Vacuum Advance Repair

I think I even emailed the guy and asked if he could fix the pod and he seemed open to trying it but then I realized I could just cannibalize a pod with a different part number.

Thanks for that link.
If you have any alternative part number I am all ears!
Please share!
