Non-FE Discussion Forum / Re: RockAuto question about parts and returns.

I've never had a problem with returns and have ordered well over a
hundred times. Biggest problem is fed-x and ups destroying the boxes and losing parts. My biggest complaint on RA is juggling parts to get the shipping under control. Most of the time they still beat ebay and amazon on pricing.

Early ranger heater cores were amazing, although I never owned one with air. When my 89 SHO core took a crap, I cut the outside cover with a dremel, pulled the core from the firewall engine side, put the new one in and sealed it back up with 3m seam sealer.
Alternative was to pull the dash out.

I'm with Tommy on this. With the $500 that I save, I can go to my local pub and have a burger & a beer (& a lot of them). Pub owner makes out, waitress makes out. Put a few bucks more in the collection plate on Sunday. Buy a few extra boxes of Girlscout cookies and on and on. I'd rather give my local economy a boost than piss it away to make a feel good point. Edelbrock has to adapt like everyone else. Of coarse being an OG has much to do with my attitude which is generally no shi*s given.

Can you get that SHO motor in a little Escort or something? Sleeper alert!

Leno has one in a Fiesta.

the pinion shaft that the spiders are on eggs out in the carrier housing causing that play. Most of the time, the gears are fine, you just need a new carrier. good time for a locker or spool.

Experience I had with my diaphragm was that it it wouldn't re-engage above 6k power shits until the rpms dropped. did ok with off the throttle quick shifts.
