I have an incomplete full set of 199 rods. I'd imagine you could mix and match 232 caps to make a set for a 199, then have them sized,but maybe not?

I doubt i'll find another, most of them had turned to red dust even back in the late 90's when I built mine... -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrc II " Chronic Pain Hurts" -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx> > Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > > From: Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx> > >> In my experience 199's are uncommon, and 232's common as dirt. > > > > I thought that too, till I built my American! > > Two of the three I parted had 199's in them! > > Huh.
