Another rear main question

I have a rope style rear main seal. Does anyone make a neopreme replacement? If not, what is he correct procedure for installing the rope syle seal? I have the engine out and on a engine stand.

What year engine do you have? Yes, most years they make a replacement rubber seal. Just make sure you take the pin out that held the old rope style seal. If you know the year, just go to autozone's site and see what they have.

It is a 1980 302. Guess I will have to lift the crank out to remove the pin?

I can't remember, but the pin may be in the lower main bearing cap that comes off. If that's the case, you are ok.
