Ive heard that you can re-use the auto bezel, but don't quote me. You just have to add a boot.
A manual bezel with a boot costs like 200 bucks for 50resto.com. Deff. something to re-use if you can.
You guys like to undercut the prices for these parts a ton IMO. Bellhousing for 50? Pedals for 50? Ive never seen it. You've gotta get damn lucky.
I priced together parts on ebay the other day and I got up to 1000 without even finding a transmission.
100% (well, 99.9) sure its the bushings going bad in the distributor. Mine did the EXACT same thing...and it would stop after it warmed up.
I swaped distributors and everything is fine. A reman. distributor should be under 100 bucks I think.
Might as well ask in this thread too...
Ive heard if I went with 373's for 410's, it will throw the shift points off and ill need a chip for the computer too keep that from happening. Any truth to that?
Yeah, im not having any issues at all with my current trans, even when it gets hot. Its never slipped, suttered, or whatever. I just didn't want to spend 1K on a converter and shift kit, just to kill my trans, ya know? 100K miles not that much?
I want to get a converter and a shift kit, but im afraid ill kill my 100K miles trans. I was just goofing around on ebay and saw a couple aode's that were pretty affordable.

And no, I don't want a 5 speed. :notnice:
Its really a hit or miss wherever you go. Im sure some ford dealers turn out awsome work, but i know of a couple here that couldn't paint their way out of a paper bag.
Try to find a shop that has a good reputation. Ask around.
Yeah its going to cost anywhere between 4-6g's to change the color and do the bodywork. Try not to go cheap with it....any extra money you spend on a paint job is money well spent.
I think I heard they use carsound cats...which ive heard are some of the best you can buy.
You gotta let me know how you like it with your magnapacks man. Mine are just too darn quiet with the stock H.
lol I smell a carb vs. efi debate
If you have a properly tuned carb, it runs awsome. We switched from carb to EFI on an old bronco and my buddy thought it ran worse. It just depends. Different strokes for different people...er folks...whatever.
