You have to call that on your own. Usually they start showing cracks before they fail, but most of the time nobody looks at them. Fairly cheap to replace now, especially if you didn't compress it before you took it off. One of those "While your in there" things.

If the TA has failed, the idle on the car won't drop when it reaches operating temp, about 185.
And loss of fuel pressure will kill the Spica pump like nothing else. Being an 81, if you have to do anything to the fuel system, just replace it with dual carbs. 80 and 81 are the really odd ducks in the Spica world.
And you really should be posting pictures of the cars....
