Carl , I think David's point should be well taken.
You're not using the wrong block, if there is no replacement available.
The last block that I filled , did not have a replacement.
After several no. 1 qualifiers and a Nat'l record, it never dawned on me that I was using the wrong block.
Perhaps you should have qualified that statement at the outset. Just sayin' .
