very few that used the one in our cars...see if you can find a 180.

Many times we have taken a regular 160 and trimmed in down in size to fit

I posted the original GM part # for a small 160 for trucks a few years ago. When some went to buy them they were standard size 180.  Best bet is cut one down or buy from a Buick vendor who had them cut in a press.

Well, I know of at least one car that's never had a 160.
