Woodruff Key...I lost it
I'm a *******, I lost my woodruff key in the gravel.
I need a new one, so I went to TSC to try and eyeball one out.
Figures, they have a bunch of sizes.
Any input on what I should get?
I was thinking of getting a bunch and just seeing what fit.
Thanks,
Blair

That's funny, I still have on sitting in my desk organizer from a few years back when someone else asked the exact same question 
I don't have my calipers or micrometer handy though ...
Just to make sure, it's the one on the crank for the damper, or the one on the crank for the timing chain gear?
And get that paint out of your mouth

It's 1/4" square by 3/4" long.
More accurately:
.2515" square, .751" long.
It's an interference fit, hence the extra .0015 on the width. The length can be just plain .75 (or 3/4) inches.

thanks for the info on the key. I'm getting one tonight. Gotta get my 352 up and running.
Bryce, it's a walkout...........
Alvin, I looked and looked, even had my bolt getter thing on a stick, magentic style.
No luck, it musta bounced.

I always thought of them as being a half moon shape and the square ones (like the one pictured) being a "key".

No I don't think so.
I think I need a half moon one at that. I bought a square one like in the pic, and just test fitted it in the end of the groove.
But it appears that the notch on the crank stem is a half moon and not rectangular.
Thanks,
Blair
