Use any good quality (parts house or OEM), and if possible try and get a 165 or 180 degree. Make sure your bleed the system of air before you start it, and then once again after the first warm/cool down session (in the garage or on the track)

Based on Gregg's past performances, he has to buy things in "BULK" so product availabilty issues might not reflect what he seems to do....

And he would know....
I'm sorry Gregg, but you've been dormant for too long. You come back and all the pent up wise craking releases in a flood.[/b]

Yup...motors, hardened hubs, suspension pieces, core supports, front crossmembers, radius rods, fenders, hoods, tailights, headlights, wildly illegal camshafts (uhhh....kidding with that one...REALLY!
), I've never had a problem getting what I needed very quickly. BTW--I love you guys.
Thanks for the input.
I have not had a problem locating parts. Some of the Honda forums are full of parts. Been able to find some body parts in the junk yards. I hit the dealer for the small things.
I started the car! It has been sitting dormant for 15 months! What a huge relief. Well, at second thought...I would have preferred it didn’t work so I can send it off to Blaney's shop. I wasn't so lucky this time.
I turned on the car and with about 30 seconds of cranking it turned over. After a few minutes I smelled gas. I did not work on the gas lines or tank at all. But I had my gorilla hands in there changing the T stat and heater core hoses and such. I turned off the car and found that the drivers side of the engine compartment was wet with gas and there was a wet spot in the floor under the engine about 18" in diameter. I checked all the hoses, thinking maybe I dislodged the return line. I could not find the leak. I cleaned up the engine and soaked up the floor with kitty litter and went to bed.
Next night I tried it again. I could not reproduce the problem. No leaks at all. Raced the engine, idled it, shut it off and on trying to get some fuel to leak. Nothing. The clamps and hoses seem fine. Any ideas?

check the end of the fuel rail where the end cap is, also check the rubber lines by bending them with the key on but motor not running.
Don't run until you find something that kind of problem doesn't fix itself (unless you consider a melted pile of junk fixed alright). Rubber lines can crack from age or get nicked during install, but on driver side I'd suspect fuel rail
