[V8] Does this servo look right?

[Seamus O'Carey]

Ah, good point.  I do believe V8 servos are all aluminum.  I had forgotten
about that.  Also, I just noticed that the lines going in/out of it are in
the wrong place and don't match up to what's in the service manual diagram.
Well at least that's settled.  Now I have to wait for the seller to get back
to me and to issue a refund.  Ugh!  I just want to drive my damned car!

I'm not sure why the links didn't work.  What did you have to do to them to
make them work?
