what is this woodruff key? If it's the key that goes in our ignitions... you need to have your current key (if you didn't lose it) ... measured for resistance. Don't go to GM, they charge $40 a key!! Any local key shop should have some if you know your resistance... like $15 a key.
Now, if you don't have your key... I dunno, call GM and ask what you should do.
Now if this isn't what I think it is, sorry :P

iirc, it goes in the front of the crank & keeps it aligned w/the......... crank gear?
btw, I've seen an assortment of them in the help section @ AZ a while back, but not sure if they still carry them.

Look in the HELP! or Dorman section of your local auto parts store. We carry both brands and have a large selection of woodruff keys where I work.
You can also maybe find them under the Motormite packaging, as they are partnered with Dorman and HELP!

They are actually quite long, so its possible that the 350 key's are like the typical 350 keys and are 2 piece.
I ended up calling the chevy dealership and they had them in stock. I couldn't trust the key's in HELP! I've bought HELP! products before only to be let down. This is to cheap and hard to get to to trust a product that MIGHT work. Thanks for your replies.
Instead of making a new topic, I'll ask here. I aquired a radiator from a LB9 IROC w/ the dual fans. Until I'm ready to install the V8 and dual fans, am I able to use the radiator? Or is it that the hoses are reversed (I believe thats what I remember hearing)

the 3.1 rads have teh same hose placements as tehvee-ates. I know as I had to replace my relatively new 2.8 one for a "correct hose placement" rad
just plug the tranny coolant opening sif going auto w/it.
