I wear my nose a little bit crooked because I used to make wise comments like that.

I've made 'em in the past with an old spark plug, knocked out all the porcelain and threaded for 3/8 NC. Use a 4-5" piece of 3/8" allthread, available at any hardware store or NAPA.
In reality, I have to agree with Jack. Buy one from Summit and have it shipped to you. Here's a budget unit for $6.95

Or you can get a really nice one with a hole drilled in it to let the air out as the piston comes to the top like this for $11.50

Just a cautionwith the threaded ones, try not to hit the piston against it very hard as you can raise a burr on the piston which can cause a preignition. Just bump it, mark the damper and reverse it around and bump it again. Mark it. Split the distance in half and you have top dead center41 Willys 350 sbc 6-71 blower t350, 9in, 4 link
