Purple power or oil eater is great for oil. On porous blocks, @Bodyperson is right: solvents. A scrub brush helps too.

The speedo sender should have an O ring and a lip seal on the speedo pinion. Are you leaking from the sender or from where the cable connects?

Most autozones I've been to carry the thicker dual plane (two ovals) gaskets in the performance and chrome aisle, but ymmv, it's a regional thing.

Yea the auto zone near only had a 4 hole 1 inch spacer. The hub about 20 minutes away has the 9266 in stock though.

Its leaking from the housing seals on the tailshaft, not where the cable connects. It has a new oring. I'll also look into the lacquers.

Edelbrock Carburetor Spacers 8724

I got a punch that belongs to you was in bucket....bring it by tomorrow....

A punch of mine? Sweet I'll see you tomorrow! That spacer and the 8725 (essentially same besides mounting holes) are the ones I was looking at. Those 2 are the only dual planes that are not aluminum that summit and jegs sell.

Be careful with the stud being too tall. I measured mine with clay on my GTS with the 499" stroker and looked to have plenty of room. My first time nailing it I have a wing nut dent in the middle of my beautiful hood. Joe

I made that mistake too when I got the new stud, just without the wing nut on it. So you can see a little Itty bitty dent from it.
